At my shop the DBAs are part of the infrastructure group but are farmed out as a
resource and attached to development projects for both in-house and 3rd party
software projects. It works good because the DBAs here play both production and
development roles. Its crucial for DBAs to be closely involved in development of
stuff they will ultimately support in production. This way the DBAs have
accountability for systems they were responsible for developing, as opposed to
other shops where production DBAs where not responsible for developing systems
for which they are now accountable.

Subject: Where should DBA's be placed in an Organization
Very non technical question, but I would appreciate people's views on where the
DBA function should reside. In our organization we have Infrastructure support
and Applications. I personally want to be with Applications as I feel we have
much more to contribute, and if locked away in infrastructure we dont get to
know about projects until they have been completed. We have a lot of input in
Applications from evaluations of solutions, integration to working with
developers. We should also be at the forefront with issues such as
Datawarehousing/mining etc.. I would appreciate your views and help me make a
case to present to my management. By the way we are in Infrastructure at the
moment. The DBA role is changing and we need to be more proactive,
thanks
