I know these sys admins. They're the same ones that log onto your system as
root when they need to look at the server.

Niall,
These are all good questions and I’ll answer them as best as I can.
1)
One of our sys admins is always right, no matter what anyone else thinks and
once he gets an idea in his head, that’s the way it will be (even if
his boss says no).
2)
According to the above mentioned sys admin, security. Once that word is used,
then everyone gets nervous and says that we have to do it because it’s
more secure, even if it doesn’t make any difference.
3)
Storage is a SAN and its owned by the systems team. We ask for an amount of
disk and it’s supplied, with no information as to volumes or RAID type
or anything.
4)
Typically one database per server, with only a couple of exceptions.
5)
The DBA team, which consists of two of us. We will have the same access to all
databases, which is why I question the need.
