I learned long ago that what's smart to one is pure stupidity to others. As a DBA, I'm not privy to everything going on in my company (though some would argue a DBA should be). My company doesn't always make decisions I agree with or necessarily consider smart. But they are on solid financial ground and growing, so I have to figure they know more about what they're doing than I.
Take care,
Bert
