Good article. The DBA job is significantly easier in the long run , if discipline and sound priniples are applied.Many DBAs are pragmatic - i.e they work in a resource constrained environment - with the number one priority being to keep Production systems alive.
This leads to short cuts and sometime pain the future
How do you figure that trying to keep Production systems alive "leads to short cuts"?
