Yikes! Tell me that this just means an Oracle DBA, and not an actual
Oracle employee or certified consultant.

Maybe this sort of thing is the cause of the IT shortage: resource
consuming technologies, in a time when people really are IT's most
important resource... Maybe this would make a good ad: Suit #1: You just
don't find that many HP 3000 support people. Suit #2: You don't need
that many people to support an HP 3000...
