Stephen,
When you have a manager like that, you have to learn how to push
back. In a polite way and explain to him, why this can't be done
in a matter of hours and what the impact would be if this is
not planned. Because a management style like that, is a diaster
waiting to happen. My manager from time to time does that to me
and yes, some times we have to teach them, educate them. They
don't know the complexity of Oracle plus application plus etc...
As a DBA manager (very much hands on) myself, I constantly
have to educate my VP that the promises he/she made to customer
won't happen within N (where N < 8) hours. So now they learned to come ask
me first before commiting to a date.
Best Regards
Richard Ji
