Stephane,
stick to your guns - part of the dba's job (as I see it, and try to do )
is to help guide the developers in the best way to do things on the database
if it's your choice that they should do an alter table, then that's what they
should do.
don't give in.
Brian.

Hi,
I do not know if it's friday afternoon or what ?
The developpers want me to regenerate the grants in
the development environment because they're running a
script that drops and recreates a new version of the
tables.
I asked them : Could you do an alter table instead ?
The developpers : What ! they'are at least 10 new fields !
I used to be a developper, I do not remember myself dropping and recreating everything each time I add a new field . Anyway in production, only the new stuff goes in.
Any comments ?
