I did forget to mention used car salesmen as well.....

New A: It takes a village. First, they acquire a lightbulb company. Second, they give away the lightbulbs for free and force all other lightbulb companies into submission. Third, they force light socket manufacturers to ship sockets with only M$ lightbulbs in it. Fourth, they need to defend their predatory practices. Fifth, they agree that everyone should have light and that other companies can sell lightbulbs. Sixth, go back to step three and repeat.

> Q: How many Oracle DBAs to change a lightbulb?
> A: It depends.

New A1: RTFM. All of your answers are there... New A2: One, but the entire development team will screw up the process anyway.
New A3: One-tenth. The other nine-tenths of the DBA are spent doing ten other processes at the same time.

Cheers,
Brian
