Re: sorry but Oracle v SQLServer again

Interesting idea! My only question is how the DBA should access these boxes? Somewhere like downtown Chicago would work fine for running around town to take care of the various DBs, but in many areas the companies may be separated by as much as 50 miles. One solution is VPN networking. A large number of businesses these days have VPNs set up. How they would feel about sharing access with a consultant is another matter.

Maybe someone out there in the sort of position to make these decisions could add their 2 cents in here? I'd be tremendously interested in seeing how companies felt about this sort of thing. (Not to mention that I wouldn't mind making $500K a year! ;-))
