Comments on: What Is A Production DBA, Anyway? http://sqlservertimes2.com/?p=97 Tim and Lori Edwards' Blog Wed, 01 Sep 2010 04:07:00 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Steve LaRochelle http://sqlservertimes2.com/?p=97&cpage=1#comment-58 Steve LaRochelle Wed, 02 Dec 2009 18:46:46 +0000 http://sqlservertimes2.com/?p=97#comment-58 Though I agree with your sentiments, I can't say I or my employer follow them, in particular your comments on User Data. As the production DBA, and the only one with access to the production data, many data related bugs (or data inaccuracies) discovered by internal/external clients quickly find their way to me. To best resolve the issue, I _have_ to understand the data. Having a developer troubleshoot is too inefficient and sometimes not even possible. I'm glad I found your blog though, and will try to keep up with it. I'll hold onto this entry for the next time we need a production DBA and will ask "is this what you want in a position?". If so, sorry, nothing personal, but onto next applicant. Though I agree with your sentiments, I can’t say I or my employer follow them, in particular your comments on User Data.
