Do you honestly think in 8 hours of training you can get a from scratch IT employee to a working (Junior) DBA?
No... of course not. But I thought we were talking about "accidental DBA's" who at least knew what the difference between a Backup file and a Log file was.
I wouldn't count on an accidental DBA knowing that.
Heck, with the some of the questions I answer about log files, I'm pretty sure a huge percentage of the trained, experienced DBAs in the world haven't the faintest clue what log files are actually for.
Do the accidental DBA make more money? If so I want in!
Of course they do.
Is there a certification for being an accidental DBA by Microsoft?
Yes. It's called the "End User License Agreement for Microsoft Office Access". :w00t:
I thought it was Excel¿
I thought one was like a BA degree, and the other a Masters degree.
I just can't remember which came first, or if it even matters.

There's someone you all know that deserves your vote here[/url].I'm sure you know who I'm talking about. 😉
Wow Jeff must make a nice santa in real life too, not just on ssc! :w00t:
In that page, Jeff is the only finalist who's not smiling.
That picture must have been taken right after he found a cursor in production code and it must have been cropped to hide the pork-chop launcher! 😛
Just kidding, Jeff! Don't take offence!
If there's someone who deserves to be called "Exceptional", it's you.

I was just coming over to post a comment about someone we know and (at least pretend to) respect that was in need of some support. Come on guys, let's get Jeff to the Summit.

Having had the pleasure of meeting Jeff Moden, at the speakers / volunteers dinner prior to SQL Sat #60 (Cleveland), let me tell you Jeff is not only an exceptional DBA, he is an exceptional individual and deserves the acolade and recognition.

Should be no surprise who I voted for as Exceptional DBA. I have learned a lot about SQL Server from Jeff, things I don't think I would have figured out on my own. He has been a mentor and friend. Hopefully one day I will get to meet him in person.
