Alan, I love your last paragraph! I've usually said that I'm willing to work
extra hard so that eventually I don't have to work, since I'm lazy.

I think the word I loved most on your article was wambulance... I'll use it
more often :-)
I found your last post very interesting, I do like "black belt" dba better than
holistic dba ;-)
I think this isn't something you decide... it's not like you wake up one day
and say "ok, today i'm going to be a holistic DBA". The organization you work
for needs to be prepared for you to work that way and specially your colleagues
and bosses need to understand what you are doing. It is, however, a matter of
letting go of the ego and doing things to improve everything.
As I once (perhaps not very wisely) described my objectives on a grid control
implementation with my manager
"I want things to run in such a way so I can spend a whole day playing FreeCell
in the office and don't get a single alert, e-mail, page, call, etc... and then
I'll be bored and move on to another project" I think he understood that
playing free cell wasn't the point... but it kinda is... I like to automate as
much as possible, and I usually use EM to automate as it is the most visible
place to do so.
cheers
Alan.-
