Mark,
Excellent points. Does anyone remember the good old days when COBOL
programmer productivity was measured by lines of code (LOC) per programmer
per day? Took management an amazingly long time to figure out they were
often rewarding the least efficient programmers. There were some great
stories from the development of PC-DOS for the original IBM PC. The
Microsoft programmers would rewrite IBM modules and shrink them for
performance. By IBM's standards, Microsoft was making negative progress.
DBAs often must choose whether to add a new application in a schema of
an existing database or to create a new database. If management brags about
how many databases the DBA team supports, which will you choose?
