The Only Attitude that important in a DBA team or in your team members would
be of
1) Being Patient about the situation {NO NEED TO PANIC}.
2) Have Troubleshooting & Resolving ablity.
3) Should have a sense of humor in everything :).
After reading all this the next guy whoes going to sit in front of Mr Alan
would really say , that he just pick the wrong day for the interview hehe..
All the best to it..
