Put aside the fact that your posting is just ordinary usenet spamming, are you
even too dumb to read the news group name??

Is this comp.databases.db2.misc??

Leave this group alone with your spam, please!

Regards
Peter

While I certainly am the first one to complain about spam :-) it isn't
necessarily dumb to get some Oracle dba into a db2 site. It's only
dumb if the site thinks that is dumb, many smart sites realize an
experienced and motivated dba plus localized training can be a good
thing. With multiple dbas, there is an advantage to having a spread
of skills and experience, too. There are also Oracle dbas who were
previously db2 dbas, and certainly some shops with both engines. The
real determinant of dumb is the communication between the customer and
the recruiter, and we don't know that. Though I'm sure we've all run
into some amazingly stupid recruiters, and there is nothing wrong with
calling them that when they spam! I've called them worse ;-)
Recruiter success unfortunately has little to do with technical
acumen, it's all sales and persistence. As an old joke could go,

...a salesman bought a mule from a farmer who told him that if he were
polite to the mule, it would do whatever he wanted. After months of
being nice, but with no success in getting the mule to take him to
customers, the salesman asked the farmer for help. The farmer came
over, hit the mule on the head with a 2x4 and explained that you did
have to be nice – “but first you have to get the mule’s attention.”

In an effort to be direct with the offender I emailed the account used
to post the spam; I also have this person on IM so I can immediately
notify her of the indescretion and get her to remove the text
littering this newsgroup. As of this writing the responsible party
has yet to login to her account; when she does I will be the first to
give her the bad news.

I agree with Joel on this one: it isn't dumb to place an experienced
Oracle DBA in a DB2 shop; We don't know if this is strictly DB2 or a
mix of that and other DBMS products and, as stated previously, having
experienced DBAs on multiple platforms, given proper training in DB2
administration, could be a definite plus as Oracle may be on the
horizon for this company or already in use. Cross-platform DBAs are
not new, yet they aren't plentiful, either, and having one or more in
a shop would be beneficial to business. I have Oracle (my
concentration), Sybase, SQL Server and Informix experience (although
the latter has been of no use to me since I left the Informix shop);
my Sybase/SQL Server experience has been valuable, however, as I've
used it in many ways throughout my career. What I *do* think is dumb
is the recruiter who blindly posts job requirements in places they do
not belong (here, for example) and who does not return to view
activity on the post or read responses to it. I suppose she's like
the mule in Joel's story ... which is why I am poised to provide input
on this transgression when she finally connects to her email account.

Guess I should be looking for a good 2x4 ...
