Quite normal - cooking and DBA are going hand in hand sometimes. Company of one of my friends is developing banking applications. So once they sold their application to a bank in Baku, Azerbaijan. It turned out that their chief DBA three months before was cooking pizzas and for example how to do such advanced operations like export/import they had to write very detailed instructions i.e. where to find executables, what to write in parameters etc. Gints Plivna http://www.gplivna.eu 2007/1/18, Kerber, Andrew <Andrew.Kerber@xxxxxxx>:
