      That's not news, but a question. This forum is reserved for news-items. ..Oracle once held the best database-server software. They still have that reputation because people do not change idols quickly.

        Why? Because their tools suck, so you have to become an expert at 3rd party tools like TOAD that are, granted, decent and can be quite powerful, but have their klunky aspects, not that SQL Server doesn't, but in my experience with TOAD, its klunkiness gets in the way with normal usage, while SQL Server's klunkiness manifests mostly in backup/restore processes.

                Oh yeah and then there's the largely unspoken weirdness that I learned about using TOAD to actually compile procs/triggers/packages, particularly when going back and forth between TOAD and SQL*Plus... I wound up with a lot of erratic proc behavior due to "half-compiled/mangled" PL/SQL. :mad:

                  You don't even begin to realise how high the hourly rate works out to. Consider that all database reorganisations require days and days of computer time when no other work can be done. This means that the DBAs work only during long holidays, such as Memorial Day, Labor Day or Thanksgiving and the rest of the year they are twiddling their thumbs. Consider that even on these days the work consists of starting the Unload process, twiddling thumbs for a day and starting the Reload process and twiddling thumbs for the next two days. The hourly rates are astronomical. Nice job if you can get it.
