I like the groups you've suggested, but agree with the person who suggested
renaming comp.databases.admin to comp.databases.dba, it's much better suited.
I also think you should have a comp.databases.developers - to cover developers
writing software to access/interface with Oracle databases - they would fall
into the .misc group with your suggestion but I think they are an important
enough group to have their own. This would cover things such as accessing Oracle
from C/C++ (Pro*C, OCI, Oracle Objects for OLE, etc.), accessing Oracle from
perl, etc. Maybe this would also extend to include web developments (if it's too
busy then you can always add a comp.databases.developers.web later).
