Automating DBA Processes – the White Paper

A while back I participated in a round table on automating DBA tasks. From that event a few folks produced a white paper on automating DBA processes. Regardless of your experience level you should pull it down and read it. You’ll need to provide a little information to Quest in order to get to the actual download page; I guess that’s a small price to pay for access to genius!
