Man, you all need new managers.  I have yet to be harassed when there
are database issues that need immediate attention.  Now, at this site
the client managers harass my managers but basically I am left to do my
job.  
 


Now I do have junior developers blaming all the worlds problems on the
database but thankfully I work with mostly senior developers who have 
mastered the art of investigation and if they come to me it most likely is
my issue.

	  What we need is a DBA simulator...a virtual reality cubicle where


you are 


constantly berated and harassed by AI managers and developers while you are 
trying to fix their problems via your virtual workstation.  To add realism, 
we could make it a 3-5 day simulation where it has one of the virtual 
managers call you at 3 in the morning jumping up and down screaming, "The 
database is broke!  The database is broke!"  Of course, the  programmer, 
system and network AIs will randomly spread the blame between the database 
and the others...and after determining that it isn't a database problem, 
they'll insist that you stay up and "watch the database and give them a full



report"--just to be sure.  It could have the dual purpose of better testing 
the extent of someone's capabilities and scaring away the meek all in one 
fell swoop.  :)
