Of course the
In general I noticed that each individual has its own view on what is necessery to administer a system. In my opinion, a certification institution should collect what most existing admins find useful for an admin to know and build on that. I am pretty sure a whole enterprise infrastructure can be administered without any one ever knowing a single thing about SQL. However, one needs to realize that some things could be done easier by implementing SQL. That said, I don't know a single systems administrator without a basic knowledge of SQL but that may be me. Even APIs nowadays use SQL statements to allow programmers reach their data. I am in for allowing simple and general SQL commands in the certification. I am not in for anything more specific or advanced. _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list [email protected] http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
