If you have a development team on staff I think early and close
cooperation with the DBA's is essential to smooth performance of both
tasks.  Although I report to a technical lead I closely support two
development groups and attend their meetings.

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
