OT moment of doubt 2005-06-15 - By Andre van Winssen
I recognize this. I have felt like a pioneer in the current organization
(9iR2, 10g, grid control etc) but after having moved to another =
department
suddenly found myself opposite to my former dba colleagues, which has =
been
and still is rather unpleasant when it comes to conflicting professional
interests.
I encountered many times a situation where I was waiting for the storage
team in Kuala Lumpur to restore an RMAN backup on a server in NL in =
order
for me to proceed with the recovery of the database. So instead of =
having
the grip on the whole chain of "database -> tape" I had to rely on =
others
for intermediate steps. And if you ask why we did not rman backup to =
tape
directly I can only point to management decisions.
I screwed up once in a while at dba services but have always been able =
to
fix it myself. Until I left the department. I learned not to take too =
much
dba responsibilities anymore.
Kind regards,
Andre v Winssen

Screwing up isn't that bad when you are in a position to fix it =
yourself. It
gets bad when you need someone else to help you with it...=20
You ever notice that when someone else screws up you don't mind helping =
the
person out. The only thing you hate is the constant 'I'm sorry. Please =
don't
kill me' coming out of the persons mouth over and over again.
Then when you screw up and need someone to fix something for you, you =
are
the one saying 'I'm sorry. Please don't kill me'.=20
