hm, my kind of senior DBA :)

I will hand off things to my assistant with the words "if you have a problem or a question, ask me".

He's got the DBA Handbook on his desk, and the Oracle docs online. He sits directly opposite me so I can tell from his face when he really needs help. He's doing fine.... and learning like crazy, which is the whole point :)
