Thanks for the great comment. I really wish more people like yourself at least understood Linux memory management. I think it will truly help you to be an exceptional DBA. I can also understand how an expert DBA might not know or care too much about the OS underneath his software, although I would argue that if you understand the OS fundamentals, you will be that much better at whatever specialty you have.
Thank you. I'm on my way to become exceptional DBA.
Oracle is only 2 years younger than me, but unfortunately it has been developing much faster than I am.
It literally takes years just to become familiar with all these layers of Oracle technologies.
So, it's really hard to blame DBAs for not knowing how underlying OS works. :-)
