Re: Questions for a Jr. DBA

it is really an interesting question..you are saying you want a team member...unfortunately many do not understand dba is/has to be a team member..many are of the opnion that just take a dip or force some one to take a dip in a tank called as dba training, as soon as he/she came out of the tank he/she will be more colorful dba !!!

technical questions/knowldege matters..which can be shaped/shrpened further..provided a dba attitude exists.. so what is your need basically..present days are of outsourcing...hence some of the times he/she may have to work remotely..so how much you can dependent on him/her..without changing him/her..you have to get work done from him/her..

recently I read the book 'How to be organised in spite of yourself'..penguin books usa..authors sunny schlenger, roberta roesch..it gave me a different way of looking..habbits, attitude, attribute, characterstics does matters..

thanks..subodh
