Yes if you have 10 years DBA experience of Sybase ASE, Oracle 9i financials, Replication Server, Unix (HPUX, Solaris, AIX, Linux), NT, etc and a Computer 1st from Oxford or Cambridge and also 10 years experience in Financial institutions........ No? Nope - but I can recover a SQL server when all the SAs who ring me can't

I wouldn't let my SAs near any Database Server, but then I wouldn't expect to be applying kernel patches as a DBA......

Most developers I know will use the shortest acronym possible. Hence "olay" for OLE*, "bump" for BMP, "asp" (like the snake) for ASP, etc.

Do you pronounce TCP/IP "ticky-pip"?

Or WWW "dub-dub-dub"?

Or Tcl/Tk "tickle-tick"?

> Do you pronounce TCP/IP "ticky-pip"?
Depends. Most of the time I actually say Tee-Cee-Pee-Eye-Pee, but I have a Unix friend who says Tee-Cee-Pip and I'm starting to go that way myself.

> Or WWW "dub-dub-dub"?
No, I tend to say the double-you-double-you-double-you for some reason. I'm not doing much for my own argument really, am I?

> Or Tcl/Tk "tickle-tick"?
Yes, but mainly because I learnt that off my aforementioned Unix friend.
