I have to disagree. I have another idea. In short - more lamerfriendly
becomes a product more need in expert in case of trouble.
It's like when everyone knows to use calculator and abruptly it stops
working there is need in someone who still knows how to multiply/
divide numbers on piece of paper. Kinda sci-fi case but this is what
happens in MSSQL world. This is what will happen with Oracle with time
(when it become even more lamer-friendly). Everyone is able to use
wizard to install Oracle database. With 10g it became much faster than
with previous versions. It's so easy! Right? Nobody talks about impact
on your system if installation was not done right. If there is
something - let's call DBA.
Simple way to backup/restore database in SQL Enterprise manager is a
cool feature for our PMs. But even after spending years of educating
them not to use C: drive for restoring database they still use default
location. After there is no space left for Windows to run they call
for DBA. I gave you an example of extremely primitive case. But it
just an example.
