Me:  Why aren't we using RMAN?


Boss:  We use export db.


Me:  But these are production databases!
Boss:  So.


Me:  RMAN is great, let's you even recover corrupted blocks.
Boss:  We don't need that.



Next conversation ...



Boss:  Call Sun and get them to send a rep over for a cluster purchase.
Me:  OK.


Sun:  So what kind of solution do you want?
Boss:  The solution with the highest availability.
Sun:  Do you want disaster recovery?


Boss:  No, we can afford to be down for 2 weeks.
Me:  Pissing my pants.



These are true stories -- is this guy a bafoon or what?
