    I'll go one further...

    "Monitor and tune database resources and activities for SQL Server databases"

    Does that include being allowed to beat the hell out of developers that write performance challenged code?

    --Jeff Moden

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    I have 25+ years experience and cannot meet all of those requirements !

    If they hire one person I'll bet the top end is 60-65K to boot.

    Now if they were really on the ball they probably would be looking for a small team of specialists in the range of 3-5 people.
