At my current job, we (dba's) manage any code change ourselves (DBA /
Developer double duty) for anything more critical than a simple query, or
if there is a very specific need. rest folks are java experts but they are
very receptive to our opinions. We also have design review process when we
build something new to decide what features (of oracle) should be used and
how. We also have a formal code review process using crucible and assigned
folks sign off. We review code together, ask questions but ignore variable
naming etc, as long as it makes sense and sufficiently commented, it works.
We ensure that critical pieces are logged appropriately into our logging
table. java teams have started polulating module/action/client_info fields,
so we can do further analysis via AWR as well. Then our performance
management team beats the heck out of code java+oracle and we take results
from there and feed it back to the team. Only then QA takes it over.
So far it has worked very well, this is just an example, our teams work
together (we all even sit together within shouting distance of each other)
so communication is not a problem as well. But then since we do so much
business aligned work, routine/very routine dba tasks are handled by
another group, we just deal with our own set of databases, that is our
domain.
