The Database Maestro

Had a visit yesterday with Paul Vallee of Pythian Group, a Canada-based outsource for DBA operations of various kinds.

Paul has some interesting perspectives as he works with clients with varying DBA requirements (including platform). He also brought me a great poster: "The Family Tree of Ottawa-Gatineau High Tech Companies", which is a surprisingly leafy tree - think Corel, Databeacon, Liquid Computing - all companies that have some lineage back to U. of Waterloo (AI hotspot in the 80s), Cognos, Northern Electric, etc.

Thanks Paul!
