Hi there all

Don't worry they are all talking to each other,

Just being difficult in wanting to do their work to figure out what is dependant on what, it is not in that they don't know how either.

Just a case of being lazy and thinking the DBA's will figure their work out for them.

I believe what you need is=20

have all your developers work in the same schema
Let them talk to each other about the changes they are making.
developers should know that any change they make can break some else's stuff, so communication is of paramount importance.
pre-release testing is not an option.
