Re: RE: Top 10 DBA Do's and Don'ts anyone - Here is my list, comm

I like this - it nearly fits in, give or take a little flexibility in interpretation, with my comments:

    Tuning (engineering) is what you do before the system goes live     Trouble-shooting (science) is what you do after the system goes live

> By Engineering I mean the process of applying solid principles to
build a known system to meet specified requirements. The two are clearly linked, and there certainly is a requirement that the science is done before the engineering - otherwise we are little better than high-tech witch doctors, but they are different. It is important that neither is 'art' especially not in the sense of a 'black art'.
