Maybe not, but there are a lot oracle "mustabes". The standard situation is that somebone buys an expensive piece of software, the admin gets it dumped on his desk, discovers that it needs oracle and the boss authorizes him to order the CDs. Then the poor admin shows up here and asks "ow to run oracle" There's no way that we can tell him this in a couple of articles. The only reasonable way to save the expensive app is to give that admin enough verbal ammo that he can convince his boss to pay for the 10d admin course. Or to let the admin bother about the software and hire someone for dealing with the database issues.

It's not their job to help others run their databases either. [Quoted] [Quoted] OTOH, if they *assume* that responsibility, out of niceness and free will, they can go about it in any way they want. And if they want to help people help themselves and not just hand out dangerous stuff without knowing all the facts (as is typical if you are asked here), it's their choice.
