Drat, another fantasy job goes down in flames. Oh well, on a Monday when I was up till 3 am. with an instance down, it was a nice dream.

Dennis,
BTW, I did not just "luck" into this job. I developed my career after college in Florida starting 15 years ago as a secretary in the State of Florida. I worked very hard along the way. Nothing I have gotten as been without planning and hard work. Perhaps one day I will win the Lotto - I have no problem with that option.

Dear Dennis,
I saw this a little late. I am not responsible for a single test database. I am responsible for 3 prod. databases, 2 test databases in development phases now with me as a developer/DBA, 1 data warehousing (architecture, etl, database), ArcSDE admin. SQL*Server and Oracle dba responsib., project management - creation of templates, standards, etc. Yes, I believe in economies of scale and centralize. I was a economics major.

Paula - Gee, to live in Florida and be responsible for a single test database. This morning it was 6 below in Minnesota. Where do I sign up?
Some of it comes down to the advantages of centralization vs. decentralization. From a resource utilization point of view, centralization is more efficient. Yet I'll bet most of us got to work today by using a decentralized method (individual automobile).
Good luck with the arguments and if you lose, keep me in mind for one of
those dream jobs!

Really annoying pet peeve
Like certain types think they must own their hardware and nothing else can run on it - leading to one instance of a Oracle database "development" on one server per application use they also think they must have their own set of DBA's. Is this really necessary, practical, cost-effective - I say no.
To me there are different advantages to not segregating this way and sharing
best practices, IT infrastructure personnel, production DBA's across the board.
I say this negates economies of scale, best practices.... I could see some use of production and application DBA's on the same system but for each and
every one?????????????????????????????????????????/
