Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: DBA work load
Tony - I agree with Tim. This reminds me of the practice years ago of
measuring the productivity of COBOL programmers by measuring their LOC
(lines of code) production. Number of instances, how large, the number of
developers or end users all have an effect. But how this all works out
depends on many factors that are hard to quantify. Take 24x7 for example.
All my instances are 24x7. I support production plants that are running 3
shifts at times. But, knock on wood, Oracle is pretty reliable and I usually
don't get called. Some of our Unix servers have been up over a year. But I
wouldn't classify my 24x7 alongside some eCommerce sites where the company's
revenue depends on that site being up every minute. There is a lot of
difference between developers. An experienced developer you've worked with
for many years won't need the detailed assistance that a new developer will.

I'm trying to justify hiring another DBA, and
management wants more justification. I have put
together the usual reasons, but they want "Industry
Standards",
like how many Databases can one DBA manage. Or how
many GB/DBA or endusers/DBA?
Does anyone keep these kind of stats?
thanks
