I've noted my experiences are similar to Dawns, in that I work from a business perspective and not from a database perspective. This perspective has managed to provide wide-ranging experiences, through the years, with computing.

The very concept that I should have one person doing database management, another on networking, another on user interfaces, and still another defining business rules indicates a large cost structure. But that's just my perspective because I keep paying for all this.

It's always easy to theorize about why Dawn "doesn't get it". For those of us who pay the bills, or don't go on vacation this year because they're throwning cash down an IT "let's try this technology" drain, I find she "gets it" a lot more clearly than some are willing to give her credit for.

Just IMHO of course. :-)
