Aspirations for Being a Lazy DBA? Maybe DevOps is the Answer!
by
Julia Carter
|
|
When I was much younger, even more naïve and less cynical than I am now, I was amazed by one of my colleagues who created some ISPF panels with some REXX and Cobol behind them to automate the process to accomplish one of our common DBA tasks. They told me that it’s only because they’re so lazy that they implemented it, which prompted a “huh?!” from me.
They explained how they loathe having to repeat the same task over and over, and if they know they’re going to need to do something more than once or twice or tell more than one person the same thing, they’ll find a way to make it simpler and quicker. Genius.

Wrapping Up the
I
DUG Db2 Conference in Australia
|
|
In September, IDUG made two stops in Australia. With a sold-out event in Canberra and a second conference in Melbourne, more than 200 attendees came together to explore the latest in Db2 and emerging technologies.
A big thanks to all of our sponsors and speakers, who made this conference the go-to event for Db2 professionals in the region. Stay tuned for more info on next year's plans. We're already looking forward to 2020!
