Larry Ellison said the same thing about Oracle 8.
I remember an Oracle sales rep saying at a user group meeting that with Oracle
8 there is no more need for SQL Tuning, the optimizer will handle everything.
The entire room burst out laughing.
I also remember the Gartner group claiming that programmers would be obsolete
by the end of the 1990s.
As the environment and applications become more complex we seem to have more
DBA work, not less.

Evening Mladen,
Regarding "the database will manage itself". I remember back in college in
1983ish, the tale then was "programmers won't be needed as programs will be
written by computers". I'm still waiting.
And if the database does manage itself, we DBAs will have more time to sort out
the cr4p code causing all the performance problems!
I for one, won't hold my breath.
Cheers,
Norm.
