Busy the SAs by having them install PERL on all servers.
There is a port for every platform, including a 1972
Sunbeam "ElectraGlide" Iron, with autosteam
functions.

Then, everybody can do what they want.

p.s.  Have the SAs start coding the shell equivalent of DBI/DBD:Oracle
        immediately. This will take them some time.

Hi...
 There is a new DBA in the team and the management wants to send him on a
training course (for programming). As usual, the team is divided on whether
to send him for a Perl or Shell course.

 What is your idea? Lots of new DBAs are in favor of Perl, as it is more
versatile, but old DBAs are thinking Shell is universal and better for UNIX
Oracle DBAs.

Can you please share your thoughts...

Rama
