Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: The DBA in the IS organization
Hi Dave,
Our department (appro. 40 staff) is divided into 3 sections : application, network and end-user
All our DBAs are under the applications support group. All of us report to the applications head. Our title is Systems Analyst. We don't have root access to the Unix servers. Besides, installing database, cloning database and applying patches etc, all of us are involved in applications development/maintenance. I migrated the Leave Holiday System into the Oracle HRMS self-service (oracle workflow), maintain in-house projects, support turn-key project like payroll etc.
Hope it helps.
Regds,
Catherine

Subject: The DBA in the IS organization
I am wondering how my fellow DBA's fit into their IS
organization. My
situation is this. I was hired just a little over a year
ago as a DBA but
my official title is network programmer. Except for some
job scripting I
have not done any coding. I am the only DBA for 5 Oracle
databases and 4
SQL Server installations. Currently my boss is the head of
development. I
work with the developers and with the network admins
equally. I sometimes
feel a bit of a conflict with me being under the developers.
I have been
thinking about approaching the VP of IS about having me be
under him rather
than being under development. I feel I need to have equal
footing with the
development managers and with the network admins. Right now
I am kind in
limbo with no real authority.
So anyway, I am just wondering where you fit in your
organization and what
is the appropriate place for the DBA.
And yes I got called into work. Sucks to be me today. :o)
Thanks,
Dave
