Hi Steve

Over the years I've come to the conclusion that those
individuals that call themselves system admins would be
better calling themselves DBA's who also do a bit of system
admin since they (should) effectively be doing both tasks
anyway. They would have more credibility with the unix guys
and possibly it would be easier to justify pay increases :)


See my experience is the other way around.

System i admins handle backup/recovery, PTFs, OS upgrades, hardware upgrades, ect. But don't really
understand RDBMS. Instead it is the System i developers who do the DB admin duties.

Of course in a small shop where I've always worked till now, the developer(s) do development, DB
admin, and system admin.
