Any "True DBA's" here? 🙂
You can't see me!!
:hehe:

Is there such a thing as a ninja DBA? We swoop in, get the job done, and people wonder what, if anything happened? Let's compare:

- DBAs and Ninjas"fix" things

- We seem to do things magically, even though it's a well practiced set of skills

- Ninja's have throwing stars and can run on water, DBA's...ummm...have DBCC CHECKDB and ALTER INDEX..REBUILD ONLINE = ON

- Ninja's wear deadly black uniforms, DBA's also have functional clothing (we sit a lot)

Anything else?

Okay denizens of The Thread, here's a good one!

Looks like someone skipped classes during Basic Database Design 101.

Edit: changed "class" to "classes" after reading Lynn's post (see below)

Ugghh...that topic gave me a headache reading it. This was not a day to try starting a low-carb diet.

Agreed, but I would add that it is not a good idea to encounter such a thread at any point during a low carb diet. 😀
