I've never understood why this is so:

 

Our Unix Admins don't execute our changes to our Unix apps

Our Wintel Admins don't execute our changes to our Wintel apps

Our Database Admins insist they execute our changes to our database
apps.

 

 

Please no knee-jerk reactions. Everyone thinks/feels their area is
special, that no one could live without them. Before you answer with
"database servers are special because _____________" think twice.

 

If developers promote code to production web servers, production app
servers, production Unix servers, why not production database servers?

    One final argument for separating duties. Today your developers may
indeed be top-notch. However, tomorrow a big project may be started and
many contractors hired to develop on the new project. If you have a
history of developers updating production, it may be difficult to clamp
down on some cowboy developer before they trash your production.
