Re: Separation of Duties...

["Michael Ryan" <michaelrtr@xxxxxxxxx>]

One reason we don't see a lot of DBA's on the System i is that most
installations don't use the database as a database, they use it as a
series of ISAM files. That greatly reduces the level of complexity.
Plus, the System i is self-tuning - it gathers its own statistics and
adjusts as needed. I also support UDB on Windows, and while you can do
some pretty cool stuff with it, you have to do it yourself. I've
always likened the System  i to a boom box, and contrasted it to a
component stereo. You get pretty good sound from a boom box, but I
can't do impedance matching like I could with a component stereo.
