At my last job, my supervisor reported to the Manager of IT as did the manager of
AppDev. Where I am now, there are so many levels of damanagement (ok some of them are
managers not DAmanagers) that all I know is that the AppDevs, SAs and DBAs all report
to a different VP. So when a group doesn't want to cooperate, it's pretty easy for
them to hold up the show. But there are some groups of SAs, DBAs and AppDevs that
work towards a common goal and don't let the overhead of management get in our way.
And I'm logging in from home just to do some preventative maintenance. Whoever made
the comment about VPN is right... it makes long hours and on-call tolerable.
Have a nice weekend.

I am wondering how my fellow DBA's fit into their IS organization. My
situation is this. I was hired just a little over a year ago as a DBA but
my official title is network programmer. Except for some job scripting I
have not done any coding. I am the only DBA for 5 Oracle databases and 4
SQL Server installations. Currently my boss is the head of development. I
work with the developers and with the network admins equally. I sometimes
feel a bit of a conflict with me being under the developers. I have been
thinking about approaching the VP of IS about having me be under him rather
than being under development. I feel I need to have equal footing with the
development managers and with the network admins. Right now I am kind in
limbo with no real authority.
So anyway, I am just wondering where you fit in your organization and what
is the appropriate place for the DBA.
And yes I got called into work. Sucks to be me today. :o)
Thanks,
Dave
