a lot of DBA's have become like old folks (a serious compliment, actually). They really know how to get things done but everyone thinks they're hard of hearing and possibly mute. They're really not... they're just tired of listening to stupid things and speaking to deaf ears
Overall - GREAT COMMENTS. I am in one of these positions right now, and found this morning that it is about to get dramatically worse.
Direct supervisor, when we talk gets that glazed over deer in the headlights look, while his super knows much more than all in all areas.
Latest discussions - why you can't treat a 2 Tb DB the same as a 100GB DB.:w00t:
As they say - onward and upward:-)
