Sorry, please disregard that comment.

There are bound to be a lot of DBAs in this forum and I know it is wrong to generalise (no pun intended). I came to get knowledge I didn't have.

Whether developers or DBAs, we are really in the same boat, so we should have a common purpose. Bickering or trading insults at any level detracts from the exchange of useful information, which is what this forum is for. You have to be thick-skinned on these forums don't you! Dont't answer.
