A problem with RTFM is when the manual is over 10,000 pages long.

Yeah, once they find out this job isn't a cakewalk, they vanish. For those that:
* live for challenge

• are afraid of nothing and not intimidated by complexity
• make that, 'love complexity' )
• can't forget about a problem until it's fixed
• willing to RTFM til they drop
• design and execute tests to understand how things work
• RTFM some more
• drive technology. Hey, there's more to a good DBA than databases.
• did I mention RTFM?
• learn from their mistakes
• admit they make mistakes
• RTFM to minimize mistakes

All others need not apply.

In our shop we've tried the cross training tact. Problem was that those who accepted the challenge could not take the heat, so they left the kitchen.
Damn!!!

I quite agree with Kimberly. I used to be a full-fledge Oracle programmer but wanted to dabble with database administration. I asked my boss whether I
could be a database administrator. His answer is yes but I still need to maintain my current systems. Now, I am a database administrator-cum-programmer. I support turnkey projects, automate processes for my users, maintain current projects, install/maintain database & support Oracle Applications etc.

Prepare for lots of OT but what the heck, U will get to learn a lots of interesting things in the process ....
