    I once hosed a database with a single appendage. Don’t think they would let me show that you YouTube, however.

    Nice work. Ricky Sanchez would be proud. He always told me the best DBAs were nosy.

    What is your hourly billing rate for that schnozz?

    Very cool! Is it really that simple? Than why the DBAs are that busy and earn that much money? :) Or this is also a myth :)

    Put a user (or whatever loser) behind the console. Hold their hands behind their backs, put the phone on speaker and call my company. Our DBA’s will tell the user/loser what to type. Cheaper than hiring a DBA and letting him (her) type with his nose….

    One can only assume this is a satirical comment, My experience with English speaking Danes has shown them to have a better command of English than most Americans.

    How about another unconventional method IBM uses? They create an Oracle DB by blowing on their keys. Guess what their database is called?

    This is good. Installing Oracle on Windows is easy, but I don’t know of any DBA that installs it on a 32-bit Windows (much less Vista). Most install it on a 64-bit Linux distro. This takes changes to kernel parameters, addition of new users and groups, dependency installs and tons of other command line alterations. Once you do all this, then you can start the actual installation (which is what you saw). Plus there is configuration of RAC, reallocation of data files. Funny video though.
