A quotation to print out and stick on your wall

Here’s a quotation that I’ve just read and wanted to share. It is all part of a BAAG approach to troubleshooting problems, performance in particular.

From Greg Rahn (web|twitter) on oracle-l:

There are always exceptions, but exceptions can be justified and supported with data. Just beware of the the silver bullet syndrome…

The unfortunate part […] is that rarely anyone goes back and does the root cause analysis. It tends to fall into the bucket of “problem…solved”.
