It depends on the standards of the company

This is a trick question, right?
IMHO, this depends on the specific company and the specific country
and the specific occasion.

DBAs came to work in designer gowns. Uh-huh. But what kind of answer can
anyone expect to a troll question?

Hehehe! Terribly relevant! :D
I tend to consider it casual-smart.
Which makes me a natural: casual is the
clothing, the other one is inherent... ;)

employer in question. Presumably at a nudist colony the dress code
would be epidermis only ...
That being said, if your employer enforces shirt and tie (for the men)
then the DBA must comply. Likewise, if business casual is the norm,
so dresses the DBA.
By the way, of what importance is this to production database issues?

It depends entirely on the site, and subserviently on whether the site
has different expectations for strangers waltzing in viz., employees,
viz., customers. For example, I've had to be the only one on a large
site wearing a monkey suit due to contractor's (my then-employer's)
rules, and hence been treated as though I'm someone important there by
employees (eg, "I'm sorry sir, you can't park in that reserved space,
but if you have your secretary call the security office we can arrange
something for you." My secretary! Wheez, snort, chortle!) Most
every place I've been has been business casual, although my view could
probably use an ANALYSE due to slanted data. I have seen places like
banks and insurance companies that seem to require it, but that could
just be because they were interviewing... not that they'd ever hire
me... I have known people who revel in dressing like bikers or
deadheads in such places...
Why do you ask?

Hi Mr Clean,
An excellent question. I wish more people would ask these type of hard
hitting, essentially important queries. I can only speak for myself but
here's what I usually wear at work:
Monday: Like to start the week looking hip. You know, tight leather pants,
brightly coloured shirt with most of the buttons undone showing off my
collection of gold chains, platform shoes, hair sleeked back, dark shades
...
Tuesday: Usually have a number of meeting so I need to look quite
professional. Usually go for the cream safari suit, brown walking boots with
woollen socks, hair a bit ruffled and loose
Wednesday: Cross dress day wearing one of my assortment of floral dresses or
skirts. Favourite is the mini mini skirt, black lined tights, off the
shoulder blouse (showing off plenty of cleavage), high heeled shoes with
hair neatly tied back.
Thursday: Let it all hang out day. If the weather's nice and hot, my hot
pink t-string with a straw hat and that's about it.
Friday: Casual day. Ripped pair of jeans, David Bowie Serious Moonlight
t-shirt, sneakers.
All pretty ordinary and typical of most DBAs I know but conservative is my
middle name ...
Cheers
Richard

firstly: we had to wait till Friday:... before David Bowie was mentioned.
Strange ;-))
secondly: please don't prove that with pictures. They could make people
nervous.
Greetings from our, well, nudist camp: everything stripped to the bone,

I fear we are dangerously close to Jonathan's Oracle Pants TAR now.

> casual?
Working in the UK for an American/Israeli company for a French client
(still with me?), strict rules are specified regardless of client
policy.
Formal business wear and quote : "minimal facial hair". This year I
think the latter even applies to the women.
Just as a matter of interest, why do you ask? It's not like you need a
hard hat
unless you're working with Richard of course In that case cowboy
outifts and police uniforms may be the order of the day.
Cheers for that, needed a laugh.

'twin g-strings'?
Ok I can guess where one of the G strings was. What did you do with the
other one?

This is not a SQLSuiter group!!!
DBAs do not where ties and ties are not worn by DBAs.
You need to get Thomas Tights book, and read up on the differences
between these two closets. The closet you are used to retrieving your
clothing selection from is different from the closet that you will be
retrieving your clothing selection from now.
Why is it SQLSuiter's never read the magazines?
Or better yet, Read The Fine Magazines!!!!!!
