RE: hope for the future

This is good news to hear.

We female DBAs are definitely the minority, even after all these years. Just look around the next time you attend a conference. The line-up is always for the Mens Restroom, not the Women's Restroom at an Oracle-related event!

And yes Marco, your comment was off-topic ! :-)  Patty

RE: hope for the future

Woah Cool and I was complaining just this morning about "DBA peers" without that kind of knowledge.  Indeed there is hope ! (was she pretty?) ;-)  Ehh Sorry, last remark was off topic.

Onderwerp: hope for the future

So there I was this morning sitting on the tube (UK underground rail system) when a young student got on an sat down beside me. Obviously being both English and a commuter I couldn't speak to her!, but I did sneak a look at what she was reading. These turned out to be the notes she had made on her course that she was now going over presumably in preparation for exams. The notes this morning were on normal forms, entity relationship and data modelling. So there we go, a young female student of IT would be pretty good in itself, the fact that she was studying relational theory was the icing on the cake. There is hope ladies and gentlemen, there is hope.
