• Hi Gail,

    I get what you mean. But then again, where does it stop? At some point the person responsible has to have some knowledge of the system he/she has been burdoned with.

    There are plenty of accidental DBAs, but would you want them to act blindly on suggestions from the SQL server? You said yourself that someone you knew brought down a production server by doing something that was "too easy".

    Some things should not be dumbed down, otherwise I would be out of a job! 😉

    Regards,
