What is the opinion here of a DBA who says they are an expert, yet the
following is
performance:
- Default settings on all tablespaces, and tables carrrying over these
defaults
- Doesn't know how a temporary tablespace is set up (and thus sets up
temp tablespaces as permanant objects).
- Says they only perform an hour of DBA work each day -- with five
multi GB databases.
- Says the databases are "all running fine" and thus doesn't have
anything to do.
- Doesn't have any documentation on schema or monitoring
- When asked about performance monitoring to MAKE SURE the databases
are running fine, shows you a couple of shell scripts to check for cache
hit ratios.
- Says they want to upgrade to a new release of Oracle "without
implementing the features or telling anyone they are upgrading". (in a
24X7 shop where at two of the applications aren't even supported on the
realease). Doesn't know the new release either. Says it's just the
same (i.e. Oracle 8 (running snapshots) vs. Oracle 8.1)
etc. etc. etc.
Just curious as to what is going on with this DBA, as I was brought in
as a consultant to clean up a production machine that seemed to be used
for both production and development. Sorry if this isn't an appropriate
post for this board, but ....
