I think that is different in a significant way. It is much easier to
"fix a newbie" than to fix an import. And when you do "fix a newbie"
You've not only fixed their mapping to date, but also their mapping in
the future, and even the future mapping of the mappers they meet.
Yes, this message has nothing to do with newbies. If newbies are doing
large scale imports then that is just another layer of "DONOTWANT" on
top of existing problems with imports. Imports are *HARD* do to right.
Any import needs to be done by experienced mappers who have
*significant* experience in manual mapping. In my very strongly held
opinion.
and as i've said before, no import should be done without a plan,
and the plan _must_ include QC procedures and provision for a
rollback if the QC fails.
a newbie shouldn't be doing imports. an experienced mapper who
fails to do necessary QC should be taken out back and shot.
