But tab - you're a shoe in!

I think DB Admin would be perfect for you!

And believe me, it's not "boring" work. I'm a DB2 DB Admin, but 2 weeks ago, I got to performance tune our SQL Server (fixing some performance problems), and I program in Java (mainly Data Access components that turn table data into objects for programmers), and today I did a Delphi program with table access which reconciles pharmacy claim request/response for batches of claims.

So, I think you would be perfect for DB Admin, mainly because most companies CAN'T do without the DB Admin, but programmers are optional. Don't worry, when you're not doing the boring stuff (backups, expanding tablespaces, etc.) you'll be writing programs to verify the integrity of data, fixing data problems, diagnosing DB corruption, etc.

With a handle like tablizer, I think DB Admin is perfect for you. Bryce? or Brice?
