In the usage I'm familiar with (I are one) an applications DBA is responsible for both the database and the apps stack in an Oracle Application's environment. What it means outside the hallowed Oracle Apps world is, wait for it, application dependant :-) Groans will be redeircted to a kill file!

My 2 cents worth. I have seen differences between administering an Oracle database that is hosting an in-house developed application compared to administering and Oracle database that is hosting a third-party application. In one case you get to know the developers, negotiate with them, etc. In the other case you get to know how the application uses Oracle. I don't know if that is what is meant by "application DBA".

Someone sent me this URL when I mentioned that there may be Application Administrators, but no Application DBAs.
