Are the posted questions getting worse?

I'm a DBA.
I'm not paid to solve problems. I'm paid to prevent them.
Yes and no. As a DBA, I've tried to be proactive and look for ways to prevent issues. I've also tried to make sure I'm insurance as much as possible for the production side.
I guess I'm insurance in the dev side, being proactive with better code to prevent issues. Like alarms, devices or process changes mandated by insurance companies.
However most of the time I'm insurance, which means I am paid to solve problems when a claim is filed.

Any of the Threadizens going to SQL Saturday in Chicago this weekend?
I'm over for some more SQL Skills training, so thought I might as well attend.
Looks as though a couple of people from my "bucket list" of SQL peeps are there presenting so that's good.
Cheers,
Rodders...

Yep. I'll be there and doing a SQL in the City Seminar on Friday before the event.

Grant, Yeah but I've met you before, so you don't count! 😛
Only joking it will be good to catch up in person. I saw you were presenting.

Oh, I agree. Apart from anything else, appropriate prevention techniques are a solution to that particular problem in the first place.

On the shed-dyule for Bits, and planning on it. Can't imagine what would cause issues, but you never know.
Only choice is whether to fly to Birmingham or Heathrow...
