    I wasn't surprised. After all DBAs are human too.
    It was really interesting and I will be correcting some of my mistakes..

    DBAs invest quite a bit of time on backup schedules but once they've run for few weeks without any problems they often forget about them. One company I worked for hadn't had a successful backup for just over 1 year.

    If you're not going to check your backups every day I would suggest automating a check of your backup log to check for errors.

    Thumbs down

    Good stuff. I would like to make a reference to one of the issues discussed:

    CAN ANY ONE EXPLAIN HOW THIS QUTOE WOULD HURT THE DBA

    "And if you let programmers code business rules and referential integrity into the app code rather than into the triggers and/or constraints on tables, you could be in for some trouble."
