I lived in Schaumburg back in '72 and went to high school there. I'd love to
go back and see how it's changed.
A question for the DBA lunch crowd:
"What excites you about being a DBA?"

Subject: Lunch: I'm a DBA - ask me anything
We've got these dba lunch meetups going in Chicago and we tried something new
last week. Started lunch by "introducing" one of the members. The interviewee
answers a few questions, and we keep the discussion around each question to a
few minutes. Fun way to start lunch and there was still plenty of time for the
usual techy chatter afterwards.
My question for this (oracle-l) list: if you could ask a DBA anything, what
would you ask?
Here are the four questions we've used so far:
1. how'd you get started with the oracle db?
2. what's the most interesting system or application you've worked on in your
career? can you tell us a bit about the architecture?
3. who's your #1 influencer, mentor, or author?
4. what's the #1 thing you need to learn so you'll still have a job in 5-10
years?
BTW - lunch is in deerfield today, schaumburg tomorrow and downtown next
wednesday. Just in case anyone is interested in joining. :)
