• A safe recovery from a possible outage is a great story. I'm not sure why they were unimpressed. Maybe it was delivery. Maybe they were hoping for something more spectacular. I haven't been asked that question, but I can talk through a number of bad days as a DBA, what we did wrong, what we did right, what was changed in the process. Maybe you needed more drill down along those lines.
