Re: Off topic: Need ideas for 'Take your child to work' day 4/25

"Point-and-Click" GUI tools (like OEM) would be attractive but dangerous.
How about showing them OEM on a Test Server (and ensure that OEM CANNOT connect
to any other database) ? Show them the Tablespace Layout and draw an analogy
with their cupboards/shelves at home. Show them the Instance Startup and Shutdown
"traffic signal".

Our office is doing 'Take your child to work' day and the plan is for an older child to shadow me for a little while as we do some simple Oracle dba or development work.

I'd really like to make this meaningful by having the child do a task that's
simpler (than optimizing all our procedures) but realistic (instead of being
relegated to the lunchroom to watch tv) with me for an hour or so.

Has anyone ever done this? I'd appreciate any lessons learned or suggestions.

Thanks!

Barbara
