Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: DBA work load
yea I was going to add that as much as the hardware trend
has demanded redundancy for failover so it would make sense
that a "production" shop would apply that to its personnel
as well.

Subject: RE: DBA work load
just to add into the mix. it also depends on how much development is
going on and if you are involved in that as well. I have 3 new
applications going live next month, all brand-new databases and one
project lead who doesn't understand the concept of a design spec and
who keeps handing me major changes in email.
If you have that, in addition to production, in a 24x7 shop, then you
need help
There "should" be at leat 2 DBAs -- what if you get sick or (as one of
my bosses used to say) what if you get hit by a truck?
