Just thought I'd stick in my .2c worth. I've never had the need to
"administer" our DB2/400 database. I have, however, seen my colleagues
having to have downtime on a fairly regular basis with their Oracle (on
HP-UX) and SQL server machines because of "database" problems. Most
medium to large sites will employ a DBA for Oracle or SQL Server.
Question: Do any 400 sites employ a DBA and if so then what do you do
with him?

Now that just gags me. 'common knowlege too [sic] people "who know"'.
Ridiculous. Just admit you don't have the answers to the questions and
move
on. Your opinion is obvious and from your "source" I can see it comes
from
Microsoft's marketing info.

Just say so.
