> The first type is so called production DBA. > The second type is development DBA. > The 3rd type is so called "data modeling DBA", Well, I happen to do all 3, and enjoy each. 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.
