Re: Where is DBA position in your organization?

Ben,

I came from a server/system admin position to my present DBA. Originally I thought that it should stay in server/system admin but now it has become apparent to me that we work more closely with the Application/programming group. Mainly because the things that you will need from your system admin are easy to implement (partition size, tape rotations, cron, etc.) pretty routine.
The application group need me to keep a close eye on what they do!!!! because the code will make or break performance for ORACLE.
