Hi Cherie,

Interesting question!!!

At the moment 3 Oracle DBs,
1 on VMS with Live, Test, Val instances, soon to migrate NT, 2 on NT. One of these with Live, Test and Val instances, other just Live. Other DB technology:
1 Supra DB on VMS with Live, Test, Val and "DBA Play" enviroments. 1 RMS DB on VMS with Live and Test environments. All of above are on separate servers and local.

I'm the only DBA but there are support contracts in place too!. We have an NT Admin and a Sys Admin.
The Supra DB is planned be replaced by an ERP type system DB technology?, hopefully Oracle (less extra learning) but apparently on NT platform. Expecting at least 3 new Oracle DBs on NT by end of year.

I just do DBA stuff, no development apart from my own scripts to manage things!.

I use Oracle8i PE to play and learn on a decidated PC so screwing it up don't matter ;)

I think I will really need to take a look at OEM and some other goodies to automate some checks and e-mail alerts if the growth rate continues!.

Sean :)
