    Thks. good post. +tive antis coming. It seems few here on AO are concerned about databases much. The focus tend to be on os and other apps, but as you know, all our businesses run on dbs.

    At one time I used to be an assistant dba. Which was weird since I was an engineer at the time. Oh well - not too much these days, mainly some mgmt of sql 7 clusters but I don't write stored procedures anymore.
