I have
had that same issue in the past but I don't have it here.  I find that
as
long as you have your managements support and the development team
knows
that then life will be much easier.  I am very lucky here in that I
have
good management and a very well trained senior development team
to
work with.  Not that there are never disagreements but comprise is the
name
of the game.  You just got to be picky on what you let them think you are

  "Hello Oracle Guru"
  Now why is it that I get more respect on the   Internet than I do in my workplace.  ??   How many of you have this problem?  It's like   an ongoing fight with developers, they want carte blanche in the production   database, and they do whatever they want EVEN THOUGH I tell them NO, let's do   something different that won't affect production.  I go to the CTO   because this is like the 3rd time this has happened, and he sends out a   let's-be-sure-not-to-offend-anyone email.  But the developer(s) will go   ahead and do what they want ANYWAY.  I'm waiting for the first   user-mistake recovery to say STOP, I've had ENOUGH and this is how it's going   to be, no ifs, ands or buts. 
  My last job may have been a sweatshop, but at least   people respected my authority.  Here, it's a free for all no matter what   I do.  Even when I say, Dude, I own the database.  If there's a   problem, I have to fix it.  Therefore I say what happens in production   and what doesn' t happen in production.    And yes, I am looking for another position.  I   can only take this dba/developer/janitor role for so long.   I'M SO GLAD IT'S FRIDAY...  Bring on the   Captain Morgan!  It's noon somewhere...   Lisa Rutland Koivu <FONT
