Re: What would you do without RPG?

maybe because the typical sql server shop has tables and databases on
distributed systems. I am just guessing. Windows ( and Linux? ) systems
typically use virtual machines to isolate applications. vs the IBM i which
can easily run multiple applications within the same system.

While that sounds reasonable, if true, it begs the question: Why are there
so many Oracle and MS SQL Server DBA's, and so few IBM I DBA's? It's not
that Oracle and SQL Server do more work, and I doubt that IT directors in
those shops are just looking for people to give money to.

SAP on i:
Sometimes ago in an SQL Workshop someone told me they formerly worked

with

SAP on a pSeries and an Oracle database.
He also told me as long as they worked with the ORACLE database there

were

everyday 3 DBAs who did nothing else than balance indexes and adjust
buffers
etc.

that has to be make work, no? There must be code an ORACLE admin can run
that automates whatever it is that has to be done to keep the database
functioning.
