I'm not a DBA. Never have been, never will be...Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostSo you've never met eek then?
I find that very hard to believe sonny.
As NWP2C has never come to a CUK meet and I've never worked at Barclay's I think its save to say I've never had the (mis)fortune to work with him....merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

More places than you have fingers.Originally posted by NorthWestPerm2Contr View PostHow many places have you worked at then? less than 2 perhaps?
Every company works differently and has it's own policies, it's not like I can break through the permissions settings and sort things out myself (well not without being terminated anyway...)
'Policies' and Dev environments?, give me a break...

I have never seen anything like anywhere where I have worked - where do you find these people? CUK?Originally posted by NorthWestPerm2Contr View PostJust met the most anal and stupid DBA in the world.
Wouldn't change the time out on a Dev server due to it not being best practice despite it aiding us in meeting an important deadline. Was continuously aggressive despite how polite everybody else was.
Got more and more aggressive until the rest of us all walked out f'ing and blinding.

hahahaha the continuously aggressive act works for me all the time, the dev's give up and fix whatever went wrong rather than rattle my cage
In Scooter we trust
