RE: OT - Opinions on workload

I agree with Chris to some extent on that. Have a dba "on-call" throughout the 
day with some one in the office that can support the devlopers and end-users 
but it's tough to determine the extent of the workload without actually knowing 
what type of workload is going to happen - say like some major revisions might 
require more involved support in which case having someone on  an "on-call" 
basis won't work (ie., one takes care of the heavy duty stuff while the other 
deals with the day to day or minor stuff). If it's minor work then it should be 
fine.

However, you also mention security in your comments. I am going through some 
audit stuff right now and a few things come to mind. If you have audit 
considerations to deal with then you would need to have at least 2 people - 
since no one individual should have 2 or more critical functions to administer 
(SOX section 404). Also if one is sick or on vacation (do we still have that 
;-P?) then having a second person to cover off who can deal with some of the 
critical functions is ideal  which makes it now 3 individuals. This is just an 
assumption on my part though so take it what you will. 


Just some thoughts.
