Currently we use the number 2 method and that's exactly what it is....number 2.
If I cover for somebody, all they give me is the login and password of some of
the necessary userids (system, oracle, root, etc...) and I'm on my own. I'm
trying to change the culture around here to think I bit differently but it gets
to become turf wars if you ask for too much information. I've only been in
this company for a few years and change is a slow process.......we're a state
entity.
I like the full responsibility and to not be considered just an "apps dba" or
"prod/operations dba" but we buy a lot of canned apps. We are a research
hospital so the products are all best of breed standalones and they all have
their own nuances that you have to accommodate and that can sometimes be very
time consuming to understand everything and then try and knowledge transfer it.
ciao,
Brian
