OEM? OEM as in "Oracle [Expletive] Manager"? As far as self-tuning-database
marketing phrases, haven't you heard about the "paperless office"? It was
IBM's
favorite terminology in the 1970's. This was an incredible boost for the
paper
industry. The advent of printers has been the best thing that has ever
happened
to the paper industry. Our paperless offices are sinking under the sheer
weight
of printouts. Having that in mind, as a senior Oracle DBA, I am looking
forward
to "self tuning database". My job can be renamed to "Director of Information
and
Office Technology" and with mandatory "e-" in front be abbreviated to
"e-DIOT",
but I will still be doing the same thing.
PS:
---
In case that anybody needs a clarification, "e-DIOT" comes from Dilbert.
That, of course, was the shiny new title for the PHB.
