If one makes the following assumptions:

1. No one buys Oracle to store their mother's cookie recipies
2. Data in Oracle databases is a corporate asset
3. Professionals should act like professionals when on the job

I couldn't disagree more vigorously.

It is a good thing airline pilots don't take that attitude.

Just because some members of management may be irresponsible doesn't mean we should aide them in their quest for their 5 minutes of fame.
