How long does it take a DBA to screw in a light bulb?
6 or more weeks.....
1 week is planning
1 week to set up a new equipment and to install tools that query the socket
every two seconds for power fluctuations.
1 week to evaluate what can be done with the old light bulb week to set up
development and test systems week to test dozens of different light
bulb/socket/light switch configurations and to measure the speed at which the
light responds to the switch, ultimately choosing to not use a switch at all but
install motion sensors....
The remaining time is the time the DBA waits to see if anybody asks "Where is
the new lightbulb?"
Have a good weekend....those of you who are not migrating, patching or
reorging....
