Listers, sorry for sounding frustrated, but I hope - at least - I can save somebody from having to find this him/herself by posting this in public.
Amen, thank you. From: Nuno Souto <dbvision@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Sorry. Sick and tired as well. Of being hit by what couldn't possibly ever be broken, had software underwent *MINIMAL* QA.

We should start one of those "Why I don't like...." threads so we can get some positive feedback on the things that make being a DBA worth it
Request noted. The threads were started so we can avoid, or be prepared for , as many issues like this as possible. From: bill thater <shrekdba@xxxxxxxxx>
Some still think DBA means " Does Bloody Anything' so we don't get to do what we need to do:-(

Don't be silly... everyone knows it's actually "Don't Bother Asking". (-;
I'm pretty sure it stands for 'Da Biggest As**ole' :) From: Chris Taylor <christopherdtaylor1994@xxxxxxxxx>
I've worked with too many poor/mediocre DBAs who are off doing heaven knows what and thinking that it's good for them or their IT group.
This is the majority of our maintenance business. In many cases it is developers who don't understand a database or set theory designing and then operating the production database as though it were a development resource.
