RE: So, What is a 'Production DBA'?

I had always thought that you could draw a line:   All activities Before Implementation are the pervue of the Development DBA. (Including all the database design, development, layout, etc. work)   All activities After Implementation are the pervue of the Production DBA. (Including all the day to day tuning, administering, background work, etc.)

But in reality, it rarely is that cut and dried. I would call the designations "work priorities". During normal work conditions everyone works on whatever is neccessary. But, when conditions arise dealing with "your work priority", you drop what you are doing to give top priority to that condition.

To me production and application DBA's are one and the same. They support those applications that are currently in production.
