Here's an odd question for you, how do you become a MySQL DBA? I've got enough Solaris/Linux Experience under my belt and I was a Jr. Oracle DBA for a year, which got me really interested in RDBMS. I try to work with MySQL as much as possible, but I work with one of those large telco's that does not like anything where they can't pay large amounts of money. This means I have to work it into my spare time.
I've been trying to tie MySQL into basic services: ftp, DSPAM, pop3, AND offer help for what we do have: running backups and repairing the odd table when needed. But the question is, what else could I do to help develope DBA skills? Right now I have very little data that goes beyond 2 tables, so my query skills are withering. mediis a t gmail d o t com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
