OK, I had a different blog planned today, but I just got my PASS newsletter and got inflamed again. I hope I don’t have to go over this again, but I’ll do it as many times as I have to.

DBA’s = An object owned by a DBA. The DBA’s idea.

DBAs’ = An object owned by more than one DBA. The DBAs’ toolkit.
