  • Things you don't want to hear your DBA say...

    • I don't have to worry about I/O because I use a SAN.
    • RAID 5 is our backup strategy!
    • I just made you a sysadmin, now you don't have to keep asking me for permissions
    • I've changed all of the databases in production to use both AutoShrink and AutoClose
    • Nope - the backups were on that drive too.
    • Just use sa, the password is blank
    • Excel can do this and much more
    • Wow. It really IS the database! Sorry, guys... I've been blaming the developers and storage guys so long!
    • We have more than one sql server installed here?!
    I got these from a DBA I work with.  Hopefully you enjoyed them...
