You are right

But euphemestically I would say... I am trying to shed some load of me

emaverick,

ok, apparently you are a dba so you know that such a question begs an answer predicated on a false fact: 1 DBA = X number of Tables(spaces?).

i have seen shops where they decide workload differently; functions, instead of objects (tables, tspaces, etc...). somebody only does ddl, only reorgs, etc...

if you are lucky, your tables are not too complicated (remote, triggers, stored procedures, etc...).

actually, you are in a fortunate situation (look for the lemonade buddy!): you have to master all utilites, thus your market potential increases. If you were only a reorg specialist, then employment opportunities would be less than an individual who has experience in all utilities and activities for ? number of tables(spaces)
