I wish our DBAs were like that. I am a developer with Sublime Text. I have to make the queries fast. I have to design good indexes.

They can complain if a query is slow, but they never actually help to fix it. They only have to make and restore backups when disks die.

Sounds like you have a sysadmin with mad interview skills. ;)

Sorry to hear it, either way.
