There is a reason we do not have Michelangelos in our data centers
When I was a tech in the computer mtc center, my training involved learning first-hand why I to this day detest database admins. They would call, all excited, yelling about their system being broke, I would show up, grab the console to start the shutdown sequence and then the dba would start screaming about how I couldn't take an in-service system off line without release authorization, to which I would say, you said it was broke. Call me when it is. At those times when I did get the system out of service, I would always be asked how long it would be down, to which I would always reply, Until it is fixed. A side note: That was when I observed that once you could type more than 25 wpm you could no longer be trusted to repair hardware. The only path open then was to become a DBA, for the same reason. =============
