Re: DO I GIVE PROGRAMMERS ORACLE DBA ACCOUNT?

Being a DBA means that it is impossible to please everyone. Sometimes doing your job results in no one being pleased. In this case, follow the suggestions of the DBA's. Developers with the SYSTEM password or a user account with the DBA role will only cause problems in the long run (there are too many to list). In production, this is the kiss of death and it is time for every one to update their resumes.

Subject: DO I GIVE PROGRAMMERS ORACLE DBA ACCOUNT?

Sending this again, Because I did not have a subject last time.

I sure would appreciate some opinions on this. At my place of work we have
two teams in our division. One team is the application programmers and the
other team is UNIX system/Oracle DBAs. I have a new platform that just came in. I need to set up the Oracle database and Oracle Application Server
on it. Here's the question. My application programmer wants the Oracle
DBA account and the sys account. This platform is not a test platform. Yes they are developing on this platform and then it will go into production. My Oracle DBA's do not want to give out the accounts to the
developers.
Who do I please?
