Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: dba age
Well I *AM* 37, and I don't feel old. I'm actually the youngest DBA in my
group, and it seems like I'm always the youngest wherever I go...

King Arthur: "Old woman!"
Dennis: "Man."
KA: "Sorry. Old man! Whose castle is that?"
D: "I'm 37!"
KA: "What?"
D: "I'm 37, I'm not old!"
KA: "Well, I can't just call you 'man'."
D: "Well, you could say 'Dennis'."
KA: "I didn't know you were called Dennis."
D: "You never bothered to find out, did you?"
At least I'm "only" on the cusp of 35. And I have 6 years "experience"
with
Oracle. I've lost whole databases, even, thanks to WindohsNoT running
Oracle7. My experience tells me not to put Oracle on Windohs. YMMV.
I've
experienced upgrades, patches, and migrations -- oh my! I've
experienced
the joy that isn't OiD 9.0.2. I've experienced a developer who could
have
sworn he was in the test DB. I've experienced successful recovery with
zero
data loss and no downtime during core business hours. I've experienced
AutoRAID. I've experienced BAARF. I've experienced Intel, Alpha,
SPARC,
and PA-RISC. Duhvelopers have experienced my wrath. I have experienced
my
own wrath during moments of Duh. I've experienced this list, with it's
many
helpful and some not so helpful members.
And yet, there's so much I haven't experienced. Like lunch today.
Standing in for Paul Harvey,
I'm Rich Jesse. Good Day!
