INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
It the mid-&90s and this pilot fish is the DBA for DB2 running on MVS
He the software DBA andthe application DBA, meaning he does it all: installing and tuning DB2 itself, backing up the catalog, changing the
ZPARMS, designing the application tables with the programming staff, backing them up, tuning the buffers for each application, and more.A
new head of IS is installed who seems to just like to stir things up
Which may be the entire reason she decides they should use DB2/2 running on OS/2 for a new project.Fish points out that no one on staff is
familiar with either OS/2 or DB2/2, but the boss isn&t concerned: &I&ve hired an expert on DB2/2 because you don&t know anything about it.&
