Jared, I'm in complete agreement - I do all three and enjoy each as well. I have often seen the results of ignoring relational realities . . . and it is not pretty.

I must admit a particular fondness for the 'Data Modeling DBA', though I have never sold used cars as a profession. Having a fair collection of modeling books and a bit of experience, I would hope that I have left a few (good) developers happy with the fruits of my modeling labor, and a few duhvelopers unhappy with the proliferation of tables I leave in my wake.
