Paula - Gee, to live in Florida and be responsible for a single test
database. This morning it was 6 below in Minnesota. Where do I sign up?
Some of it comes down to the advantages of centralization vs.
decentralization. From a resource utilization point of view, centralization
is more efficient. Yet I'll bet most of us got to work today by using a
decentralized method (individual automobile).
Good luck with the arguments and if you lose, keep me in mind for one of
those dream jobs!

Really annoying pet peeve
Like certain types think they must own their hardware and nothing else can
run on it - leading to one instance of a Oracle database "development" on
one server per application use they also think they must have their own set
of DBA's. Is this really necessary, practical, cost-effective - I say no.
To me there are different advantages to not segregating this way and sharing
best practices, IT infrastructure personnel, production DBA's across the
board.
I say this negates economies of scale, best practices.... I could see some
use of production and application DBA's on the same system but for each and
every one?????????????????????????????????????????/
