    Considering the "DBAs" that I've interviewed in the last six months, I'd say they shouldn't take the time learning more about development... they should first learn how to be a bloody DBA. :blink:

    For sure, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't also learn development skills after.

    Heh... for the one's that I've interviewed recently, there apparently isn't room in the cranial cavity. 🙂

    Sorry... I'm just bitchin' because of the candidates I've had to interview. Keeps me from breakin' stuff. 😀

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
