Thanks for the response, Steve.  It's good to know that I might have opportunities if I decide to go in that direction.

I'm a software developer and consider myself to be a database developer as well (as opposed to a db administrator).  As a developer, I'm comfortable doing the following tasks from...

You're also arguing with the author of the article that you referenced when you claim that...

Let's look at the entire paragraph again:
