Generally the word DBA has a pretty broad meaning - and one of them is that you were a click admin that got hoisted into being responsible for your database servers, and things like software engineering tools (git, shell scripting in general) are a few years off.
The number of databases I have seen out of source control is too many to count, the number of times I had people who understood SQL very well but couldn't use git worth a damn.
Some of them have been modifying the top of the file of a stored procedure for decades

- cafard 2y agoI am reasonably confident that Oracle keeps its code under source control, but the PL/SQL packages it supplied start with a lot of this. The package WWV_FLOW, central to the APEX/ORDS product has more than 500 lines like -- MODIFIED (MM/DD/YYYY) -- mhichwa 08/04/1999 - Created -- mhichwa 09/30/1999 - Removed g_show_reset global -- mhichwa 10/09/1999 - Added g_last_query_text global for error reporting -- mhichwa 10/09/1999 - Removed g_success_procedure, g_success_url -- mhichwa 10/09/1999 - Removed g_step_sub_title_font_color -- -- mhichwa 10/14/1999 - Added 10 extra inputs v26 ... v35
- hobs 2y agoThanks for the good laugh, but yeah, the time before source control is not that far behind some of us.
