Re: Hidden message
A light-hearted exchange in a thread titled Hidden message, where John Carlson, Scott Burns, Andrew Hamm and Art S. Kagel traded humorous numbered lists of things a DBA dreads hearing, such as onarchive being the corporate standard, mismatched spare drives, Informix is dying, and an electrician pulling a data-center breaker. No technical content.
