I bet you are one of the so-called 'developers' causing DBAs so much grief.
What do you recommend me? To tell my customers, they should throw more hardware at the problem? And they should repeat this every 6 months? You would be advised to keep your misrepresentations and insinuations for yourself.
Hopefully I will never have to deal with some (cr)app you designed.
