Number like 1-900-HOT-DBA would probably attract many late night callers in need of tender conversation about backup and recovery, RMAN and SQL optimization. You could even discuss sordid little topics like DBI, Streams and using OpenLDAP to implement net resolution. That is a really sexy idea that cannot fail. Hey, you could even become a DBA version of Rush Limbaugh or Howard Stern! Hey, you're posting from the ".mil" domain! With a number like that, you'll be a real DBA puss in boots!

I currently have a crappy old Nokia phone that can recieve email, but it's not very good for this purpose. Are any of you using devices that work really well for DBA alerts? The Treo and Blackberry units look nice, but they are expensive. Are they really worth the expense for this function? I used to carry a clam-shell Motorolla pager that was useful, but too big for comfort. A phone/pager combination would be ideal I think, if it works well :-). > > > > What are you guys using that you like/don't like? > > > > Best regards, > > > > David B.
