Re: Thoughts on "Love Your Database"

Interesting conversation.

While reading it, I sort of regret the times when a single guy was in 
charge of the whole thing, and managed to simply make it work, using all 
possible tools he had.  "Informaticien" was the generic term, in French.

Every single part of the big thing he built (hardware on server and 
clients' sides, database, network, client programs, server programs, 
etc.) may not be perfect (often from far), but the whole thing was 
running smoothly, and he knew perfectly what to fix when something was 
happening.
Yes, it took a multipurpose fellow to do that, neither a "SQL-only" 
fellow, nor a "C-what-else" guy.


It also reminds me of a paper I read once, where it was carefully 
explained why scientists hated databases.  But that's another subject.
