I think the word I loved most on your article was wambulance... I'll use it more often :-)
I found your last post very interesting, I do like "black belt" dba better than holistic dba ;-)
I think this isn't something you decide... it's not like you wake up one day and say "ok, today i'm going to be a holistic DBA". The organization you work for needs to be prepared for you to work that way and specially your colleagues and bosses need to understand what you are doing. It is, however, a matter of letting go of the ego and doing things to improve everything.
As I once (perhaps not very wisely) described my objectives on a grid control implementation with my manager
"I want things to run in such a way so I can spend a whole day playing FreeCell in the office and don't get a single alert, e-mail, page, call, etc... and then I'll be bored and move on to another project" I think he understood that playing free cell wasn't the point... but it kinda is... I like to automate as much as possible, and I usually use EM to automate as it is the most visible place to do so.
cheers
