Yowch! The really bad part is, he speaks with such "self confidence" on the subject that the average Joe-Bag'o-Donuts will actually believe what he says as being correct. I agree with what others have said about that thread... glad you and Gail jumped in on it or it may have turned out to be one of the leaders in bum-dope-itus.

Thanks Grant for the link, had a nice time reading the thread and of course something about outages / disasters in South Africa.
Always been following South Africa in their Cricket and some of Rugby..but never got a chance to know in calamities.

Then there are the people who have hundreds of posts who have been told about the wonders of Books Online and have been shown how to post questions in a fashion to get the best answer possible as quickly as possible... yet they continue to ask stupid simple questions (sometimes, literally the same question) that anyone who has been working with SQL for more than an hour should already know or be able to easily find in Books Online because we taught them how. They also continue to post crap data and crap problem descriptions over and over even though they've been pointed to a rather nice article that shows them how to post with little effort, but will really make it easy for them to get a proper answer.
I posted a new suggestion, can any one spare a thought on it. The above reply from Jeff was also considered when I was making that suggestion.

We don't have lots of natural disasters, but that's not the point. When planning DR/HA, the worst case has to be considered and that seems to be something that the OP in that thread doesn't realise.

I agree. I live in New England. You compare that with some of the more "Irwin Allen" regions of America (California-earthquakes-fires-mud-slides, Oklahoma-tornado alley-flash floods) and it's hyper-safe. However, you still get tree branches that fall during ice storms & take out power or the occasional hurricane which will blow over a tree or two & maybe flood a street. You have to assume these things will happen and more. You're crazy if you don't.

Gail, I complete agree with you on planning about DR and HA.
While planning for my DR scenarios, I even consider natural disasters as one of the important considerations (which the OP is missing).
The OP was so confident that there would be least # of diasaters in South Africa, I wonder if the OP has considered this, "What happens if there is system failure, crash or unwanted some user action."

Hahaha!Gila you sound like Doomsday Prophet. This is South Africa. The only natural disaster we know of so far is a flood 21 years ago that destroyed a town. Last earthquake was 22years ago.
For that matter every DBA has to be called as doomsday prophet, since we are always worried about the system being protected in the worst case scenario...

Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow yanks, cheers to the rest of the gang, I'm off for the holiday and a week's vacation without looking at my computer. Be safe, be nice, and don't do anything I wouldn't do.
Ok, lousy advice. Don't do anything Steve or Lynn wouldn't do.

Ah, Thanksgiving. The day we in the US celebrate getting kicked out of all the good countries and surviving the process.
Last time I was in England during Thanksgiving. I said that and got a big laugh.

Stuffing myself with pizza after skiing. Likely gone until Monday, so everyone enjoy (and behave) themselves.
