OT - RE: Tough Oracle DBA experience

[Farnsworth, Dave]

Title: RE: Tough Oracle DBA experience

When my son graduates in a couple years I am going back into umpiring and also want to become a football ref.  I really miss the umpiring.  Kids ended that plan for a while.  Nothing like calling a third strike on a guy.   Done with the OT'ing.   Dave -----Original Message----- From: Loughmiller, Greg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 25, 2003 9:35 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: RE: Tough Oracle DBA experience hang on... You mean you get *paid* to watch College Football:-)      What a job;-)     I get paid a little bit for college football.. But officiating the game isn't the same as *watching* the game.   Greg            -----Original Message----- From: Jamadagni, Rajendra [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, August 23, 2003 4:59 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: RE: Tough Oracle DBA experience Create a new top 5 list ... it is fun   It stinks to be in office on Sat, but it is the start of College Football season, and I have to _watch_ the games till 11pm tonight, while sitting in office.   Raj -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rajendra dot Jamadagni at nospamespn dot com All Views expressed in this email are strictly personal.

DBAs who refuse developers access to v$ views. DBAs who refuse to listen to developers. DBAs who who refuse to explain any decisions to developers. DBAs who are pure production DBAs and have no knowledge of development and cant even write PL/SQL?   Ive worked with quite a few DBAs who only know a fraction of what they think they do. Same holds true for developers and managers. So its not one way. Attitude is harder to overcome than competence. Someone with a good attitude can learn. Someone who knows and has a bad attitude can be intolerable.   The worst kind though is the jack of all trades who thinks he/she knows everything about everything yet only knows a little about everything. Those are the worst. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jamadagni, Rajendra To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Saturday, August 23, 2003 4:24 PM Subject: RE: Tough Oracle DBA experience Top 5 problems ... 1.
