Re: Seriously Disruptive DBA

Hello,

   Here's 4 easy steps that show how you too can be a "Seriously Disruptive" DBA:

1. Sign on to MySQL as "root"
2. Perform a "show databases;"
3. For each entry you see, issue a "drop database X;" command
4. Sign out and disavow any knowledge of your actions

Now seriously...I was a bit confused here: many MySQL "DBAs" (certainly the ones chasing the MySQL certificates) just want to master the latest production-rated edition of MySQL; they aren't really interested in coding. In fact, I was a bit surprised to see that there was no mention of the MySQL cert program in Mr. Benjamin's advertisement looking for a "MySQL DBA" - wouldn't that pool of certified MySQL DBAs seem like a better place to start?

MySQL moderators - can we limit these sort of messages to just "jobs@lists.mysql.com" or something? AFAIK, I'm currently only subscribed to "win32@lists.mysql.com" at the moment and I don't link this message "concern(ed) the MySQL software on Microsoft operating systems"
