[Quoted] The developers I am working with like to involve dba's only to do stupid things they are too lazy for like exporting databases.

It is quite common for those developers to *demand* root-access, to screw up the server, and leave us with repairing the shambles.
[Quoted] [Quoted] All developers I have been working with for the last 4 years largely confirm to that profile.

[Quoted] [Quoted] I don't know any DBA how wants to work like that. I've known many DBAs, including myself, who have become highly frustrated by those morons.
