Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> 2nd DBA or ?
I've been presented with an opportunity to justify requirements for a 2nd DBA at our site. As I see it there are an number of paths this presents:
1 - Justify and get a 2nd DBA.
Pro's: Gives me more time to get involved in other projects as a senior DBA.
Holidays and attendance at courses and seminars etc. easier to take
2 - Outsource this role and activate it when required and justify putting
money into investing in software and/or hardware to allow a single DBA
function to required levels.
Pros: New tools etc. to learn and broader experience gained. More
bargaining power if required.
I'd like to hear your feedback on which path you'd be inclined to take and why?. Also if going it alone what you'd look for software in hardware and other areas. Currently 6 NT servers, 10 databases and expanding...
