This exactly illustrates my point that SQL as such has nothing to do with Linux system administration, but is "just another application domain". In this case: use of computers for business applications. There are so many other uses for a computer, even with Linux :-) The Linux OS is the common denominator under a plethora of different application domains: business administration, telecom, science, numerical control, web serving, ... ... ... I.m.h.o. the LPI certification should restrict itself to this common denominator under all application domains. -- Hendrik-Jan Thomassen <[email protected]> AT Computing Linux/UNIXperts, opleiders & oplossers Tel +31 24 352 72 82 Kerkenbos 1238 Tel cursussecretariaat: +31 24 352 72 72 6546 BE Nijmegen Fax +31 24 352 72 92 [email protected] www.atcomputing.nl 'If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.' _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list [email protected] http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
