I've often found that 'architects' don't really know much about the day-to-day of a dba team, however they are very useful when you need to design a solution and you have no dba with the required skillset. However, I'd advise that you run everything by the DBAs that will actually do the work and give them room to make decisions about the implementation as well. The solution architect should give his opinion as to what the best way to do what the DBAs/Developers need is, the solution architect should never define WHAT needs to be done. hth Alan.- On Wed, Jul 14, 2010 at 3:11 PM, <Laimutis.Nedzinskas@xxxxxx> wrote: > I ment a job title. where does this this guy stand in a command chain and > what good does he produce.
