That's basically where I am - I can usually manage everything, but it
would be great to have at least one other DBA here to just bounce things
off of and get someone to challenge my ideas - that's how I get better
I try to replace that with lists like this one, but the one problem with
being subscribed to a handful of lists like these is the sheer volume of
e-mails that I just do not have the time to sort through until the
weekend... which usually means I do not benefit from the conversation at
hand at the moment.
Does anyone else use the lists like that? Are there any good forums that
you would recommend?
Thanks,
Brad

I have learned to deal with being the lone DBA but not having someone to
bounce ideas off has been the biggest disadvantage for me.
