Agr...Gary good post - how about a development DBA?<br /><br />Agreed as a Production DBA what I hate the most is - you get all these patches thrown at you- and besides just reading the sql or pl/sql you are at a total loss as to why the patch does what it does (you have no clue on the requirement etc).<br /><br />as a development DBA you manage all your instances except preprod and prod and you get to do all the development - the problems you run into - the patch works in dev doesn’t work in prod?<br /><br />I have been in both roles and both have been good you acquire different set of skills in different roles and both fun/scary in their own ways.Vidya Balasubramanianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02901404954837710621noreply@blogger.com
