Subject: Lunch: I'm a DBA - ask me anything
We've got these dba lunch meetups going in Chicago and we tried something new last week. Started lunch by "introducing" one of the members. The interviewee answers a few questions, and we keep the discussion around each question to a few minutes. Fun way to start lunch and there was still plenty of time for the usual techy chatter afterwards.
My question for this (oracle-l) list: if you could ask a DBA anything, what would you ask?
Here are the four questions we've used so far:
1. how'd you get started with the oracle db? 2. what's the most interesting system or application you've worked on in your career? can you tell us a bit about the architecture? 3. who's your #1 influencer, mentor, or author? 4. what's the #1 thing you need to learn so you'll still have a job in 5-10 years?
BTW - lunch is in deerfield today, schaumburg tomorrow and downtown next wednesday. Just in case anyone is interested in joining. :)
