I was once one of those superior i-dba consultants. I was pretty good, and as with this list, some of my colleagues were amazingly talented, knowledgable and great to work with. Others were, well, others.

It's lots of fun to ridicule, disparage, deride, belittle, and mock Oracle Consulting, and don't even get me started about Oracle Support, and I do this all the time too, I just want to put in a good word for SOME of my old friends.

Have a great weekend.
