And how best to do that? I guess you could hire a conslutant who will tell you your current DBA is doing everything wrong and you should fire him and hire [conslutant's friend] instead.

Or you could hang out here a bit, which may not turn one into a DBA but seems like a fine way learn enough to make an informed decision about supposed DBAs.
