The latter doesn't sound that silly to me, depending what, exactly, is involved. I'm presuming they aren't after someone to sit in a remote office and draw entity-relationship diagrams, bug need whoever to engage with the systems that talk to the database. Given how appalling stored procedures are (at least under Informix), Perl interfaces/wrappers/etc for database stuff are q good way to go. Assuming they're being sensible, rather than just awkward, they want to avoid hiring someone who is unable to see over the boundary of their own job description who will keep throwing spanners into everyone else's works.
