Actually, it's a direct quote from the original (and I do mean the original) DBA Handbook by Mr. Loney. Sadly, it was removed from later versions. It DOES, however, seem to be reasonably well known since EDS did a wonderful TV commercial on it, a copy of which is loaded on the DBAMail Yahoo group files link if anyone wants to see it.

"Controlling developers is like herding cats." Kevin Loney, Oracle DBA Handbook
"Oh no, it's not. It's much harder than that!" Bruce Pihlamae, long-term Oracle DBA
