I was just curious as to how prevalent Oracle Data Warehouse and App Server software usage was amongst this group. I also have some questions as to how DW and AS are managed/configured administered, since we just had a knockdown/dragout between the managers of reporting and database over roles and responsibilities. My questions are: 1 - Who does/should control Application Server installation? 2 - Configuration? 3 - Administration? 4 - Maintenance? 5 - Who does/should control the change management process? 6 - Do most companies which have Data Warehousing rely on the DBA team for ETF function? I realize these questions are rather broad. I would rather start a discussion than get a concrete answer for each. I am sure there are still many questions beyond these that should be asked. As a traditional Oracle DBA, I find my skills are not where they should be (very little system admin and web development knowledge). Is this something that a DBA should be directing themselves to learn? Or is this a development/operational function? -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
