How about a fully qualified DBA capable of building a data warehouse, managing DBs, writing reports and wait for it&#8230;.. able to do it on what ever platform is decided as best after a complete analysis is done.\u00a0 To my estimate that would be at least 3 months after the DBA is hired.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I don&#8217;t know about all of you but this seems to tip the asininity scale completely.\u00a0 ok this is enough about work.\u00a0 &lt;\/work rant&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boy yesterday late morning I discovered it was going to be a long weekend and it just changed everything!! \ud83d\ude42 &lt;&#8211; Where is the Macaulay Culkin smiley face when you need it.
