You are getting some excellent responses to your question (which I consider
very "on topic"). We had a good discussion on this list previously. I went
to Google and entered fatcity production dba and was able to pick up the
thread.
As to your question of OLTP vs. DSS situations, I think the differences are more subtle. I thing OLTP environments are more standard than DSS environments. Our DSS is more relaxed since it is a weekly load. Sunday and Monday are the critical days. Some of it is attitude, not being a normalization bigot, realizing that marketing people are a different species that will never know their needs in advance.

Hi Listers,
I would like to know the differences between Development and Production DBA w.r.t. Roles and Responsibilities, Scope etc. Is there any difference in the role(s) played by a DBA in OLTP and DSS environments? Your invaluable viewpoints in this regard is most welcome.
Thanks and Regards,
Ranganath
