Re: Roles and Responsibilties

I distinctly remember at least two. Pardon me for butchering them...

One was the "overpromoted database guru" whose head exploded when exposed to actual code after he said something like "You would be fools to ignore the anti-binary least squares approach!" - evidently during a design meeting.

The other was better, but won't come across well here since I don't remember the specifics. Essentially, when starting a new project, Wally and Dilbert were discussing what they needed - a catchy project name and a database. When asked why the database, one replied "We like databases".

Does anyone know if Dilbert has Oracle-related comics, or database admin related ones?

Just curious.
