Re: DBA activities

Phillip,

I've got a chapter in my book, Informix DBA Survival Guide, on the subject, if you happen to have a copy lying around. It's got a lot of the "soft" stuff, such as training and mentoring, that you don't see in most DBA job descriptions, but that I believe are some of the most important DBA functions.

I'll try to find a pdf copy of the chapter and mail it to you if you want it. Send me email at joe_at_lumbley.com if you need it.

I don't do this for just anybody.....the utexas.edu mail address is what clinched the deal. ;)
