DBAs who refuse developers access to v$ views. DBAs who refuse to listen to developers. DBAs who who refuse to explain any decisions to developers. DBAs who are pure production DBAs and have no knowledge of development and cant even write PL/SQL?   Ive worked with quite a few DBAs who only know a fraction of what they think they do. Same holds true for developers and managers. So its not one way. Attitude is harder to overcome than competence. Someone with a good attitude can learn. Someone who knows and has a bad attitude can be intolerable.   The worst kind though is the jack of all trades who thinks he/she knows everything about everything yet only knows a little about everything. Those are the worst. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jamadagni, Rajendra To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Saturday, August 23, 2003 4:24 PM Subject: RE: Tough Oracle DBA experience Top 5 problems ... 1.
