    And you might be shocked by how many people who call themselves DBAs or who even have jobs as DBAs can't answer that question. I've met dozens.

    Agreed, but...

    I think Silverfox and I are in agreement (maybe because we're both in the UK)... I have never worked at a client were there has been such a...

  • RE: Afraid of Help

    My apologies. I did not mean to offend anyone and I am very sorry if I did.

  • RE: Afraid of Help

  • RE: Afraid of Help

    What I don't like is giving them an answer without them having to work a little and help themselves. I also don't like to see the same things repeated. If...

    I will say that keeping things close to the vest has gotten a lot of people fired, I've seen it many times, they don't want to share, and whether they...

  • RE: Afraid of Help

    If I ever have to defend my job by withholding information/knowledge from a co-worker, or anything similar to that, I'll find another employer, or start my own business or something.

    Have a solid SDLC that are made "public" to the folks who need it the most in their every day life at work. When application developers, management folks...

  • RE: Afraid of Help

    Yes, it's called laziness, instead of rolling up their sleeves and doing the needed research. Google is a wonderful thing if people would just use it first before posting. It...
