I love the post to soc.culture.breton. I can see why Informix and Oracle users might also be skilled in DB2, or at least RDBMS - but Bretons? Is there something about the Celtic character that suits one to be a DBA? Shouldn't a job in Minneapolis be targeted at Scandinavians? Or do they tend to work more on the app side? I never thought that Asterix the Gaul or Obelix could be a data warehouse architect. Getafix? Perhaps.

They had first stolen then mastered the venerable Roman art of database administration, the remnants of which will still see today in the residual use of the ancient Roman database management system DB II. > Shouldn't a job in Minneapolis be targeted at Scandinavians?
