| culture of lower costs at all costs. IOW managers looking to hire an
| ORACLE DBA, instead hire a tech school programmer, because they are
| "cheaper". Whether they are the best candidate is not considered. And
| switching to MySQL only because its free, opensource, not considering
| whether it will work in that application either.

| Now I wonder why I bothered to put that smiley on my post.
