Hi
Trying to the impossible....like running the database in noarchivelog mode when the requirement from the management is no data loss at all and management is not willing to invest in more disk space ;

For me, it's to convince users that i have nothing to do with their Microsoft Office, or email problems.
Cheers.
:p following
1. Getting more Hardware and software resources from manangement
2. Getting more sal every year when mamagement knows DBA does not leave jobs frequently.
3. Finding job in Unix and Linux environment after working on Oracle on Windows for longer.

Toughest Job:
Restraining yourself from choking the idiot manager who doesn't listen to your advise and then complians that his system fails (for the reasons you said it would) and expects you to resolve the problem as a priority!
:)
Jim, I have spent months in such situations in my x-company :)Quote:

I seem to encounter them every 6 months or so, generally when a new manager appears with 'Oracle systems experience' which basically means typed some data into a screen once which had an Oracle backend.
This apperently makes them an expert :)

The tough one is making a db look like Excel. (Managers understand Excel - sometimes).
TO WAKEUP AT NIGHT When TEMP tablespace can't extend...
Exactly!
Currently in the position of having to persuade management to let me develop and implememnt a backup and recovery plan for our Oracle DBs.
They keep asking "How likely is it that our DBs will crash?".
"Not very likely? Well its not a priority then!".
:confused:
