LazyDBA is as I understand it a public forum, open to all DBA's at all
levels. The numbers seem to be also growing. A large number increases
the variety of people from different levels and experiences. It's both
good and bad. But in the end everybody learns from everybody. The
experienced may not have as much technical input as the newbie but they
can learn as much from the way the newbie questions are posed or asked.
As one line in the Desiderata says, '...and listen to others, even the
dull and ignorant; they too have their story.'
Then again, there's always the delete key.

Subject: Purpose of Lazy DBA
Hi,
Can I ask a basic question - what is the main purpose of this group?
Is it a place for total beginners to learn how to be a DBA, or is there
some level of self help that is expected of people before they ask a
question?
There seems to be an awful lot of questions that can be answered if
people would bother to spend 5 minutes looking up the information in the
documentation, OTN, or MetaLink.
I know it is called "Lazy DBA", but I think this is taking it too
literally.
If the main purpose is as a training ground for people just starting out
with Oracle, then it does not really offer anything to an experienced
DBA, which is precisely the type of person I would have expected would
have the most to contribute..
What are other people's thoughts on this? Are my expectations too high?
Paul
