RE: Really annoying

Paula,
  I understand you concerns and the waste of resources but, it creates jobs and helps stimulate the economy. Take it as a challange to "build an empire" so you become indispensable when they realize that there are people standing around doing absolutely nothing.

Really annoying pet peeve

Like certain types think they must own their hardware and nothing else can
run on it - leading to one instance of a Oracle database "development" on
one server per application use they also think they must have their own set
of DBA's. Is this really necessary, practical, cost-effective - I say no.

To me there are different advantages to not segregating this way and sharing
best practices, IT infrastructure personnel, production DBA's across the
board.

I say this negates economies of scale, best practices.... I could see some
use of production and application DBA's on the same system but for each and

every one?????????????????????????????????????????/
