You know, such is the life of a DBA.  I did have a Christmas downtime
planned.  Then they shut the plant.  I would rather have the downtime.
Part of the job is making sure that databases are available when
the users want them.  That means that maintenance windows can be tight
and at times that are inconvient to you.  I have yet to see a July 4th
holiday here.  Granted that is ok to me since I still celebrate July 1st.
Thanksgiving...  Thankfully I still use the Canadian version.  I did have
Christmas day off last year but I know that the Unix folks and Network
folks got called in as someone stole the IP for the domain server.  If
you want to make sure that does not happen to you then do not do production
support or only do it on systems that can come down for a majority
of the day.

You guys will get no sympathy from me.

We have an Apps 11.5 implementation going live on Jan 1.  In Brazil no less.
And of course the PHBs
want this to interface with our local 10.7 installation.

BTW,  Anybody speak Porteguese?

It's been on the queue for more than a year.

Ain't being a DBA glamorous???

Me, I'm just in it because I heard that DBA's get all the chicks :)

Believe me, I feel your pain.  I have more Oracle 7.3.4 databases here to
upgrade than I can say without embarassment.  That's what I get for being
the new hire. :)
