Given that "most" db problems are app-centric, and a healthy
majority of *any* datacenters' downtime is human-error related,
it seems to be that the route to stability is through the
enhanced learning of the operator/developer/administrators. And
learning requires open minds and for things like technology,
frequent refreshing....
But that is just my opinion. It may actually be the case that
the way to improve something is to castigate, excoriate, and
denigrate. But, I need to continue my observations on that
topic.

Hey, I saw the ads on TV. Microsoft now makes enterprise software, which
gives sa's peace of mind...
It always amazes me how companies identify a problem, then create ads to
turn people's perception around. So now Microsoft is telling people that
their systems are reliable and never crash, so system administrators can
relax.
Hopefully with Win2K they actually fixed the problems, and are not just
posting ads on TV to turn people's perception around to boost sales.
Eventually I will figure out how the world works. It's taking me a while,
though.

There is, however, one significant difference: stability. If
Microsoft
starts making stable
products, we might just as well start using them, but knowing
Microsoft,
I'm not overly
worried.
