Nah. Good in principle, lousy in practice. The problem is that the job posters will not be excluded since the place where people discuss SQL/dba stuff is their target.

I think it would be better to split along known interest points which WILL attract the people that have those interest, such as the previously mentioned CDE/FORMS/TOOLS VS DBA/SQL (another split for ODBC/networking will probably be good, since this stuff generates a lot of specific questions) Received on Thu Oct 20 1994 - 13:57:00 CET
