Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: DBA's that tune duhveloper's SQL
Deborah
I think it is easy for somebody to make a statement like this which sends us into a panic. Sometimes the difference between a good DBA and a poor one is that a good DBA can reply in terms that a manager can understand. Do a quick review of how many SQL statements per week times the average tuning time and your manager starts seeing that another person might need to be hired. Or propose a policy that will ensure no new code is implemented without a SQL review by yourself. Now your manager starts seeing that negotiation would be needed with the various development groups. A poor DBA panics at the prospect of being forced to give up more personal time off. I can't say I've achieved the good DBA status yet, but I feel I'm on the path to enlightenment.
Another thing to consider is that the applications tend to vary widely. We have used client-server development tools that help the developers create good code, so haven't had many problems. Now we are moving into the brave new world of Java and EJBs and J2EE code, and I am concerned whether this will produce more bad SQL. Reports tend to produce more tuning problems.

We have a consultant doing some work at our site and he claims that in most shops the DBA's have the responsibility of tuning duhvelopers code. I find that hard to believe. I was wondering if maybe I am out of touch.....do most of you also tune all your duhvelopers code??? I can see working together with them if there are issue but have the responsibility of tuning all developer code....EGAD when would I have time to be a DBA. ; )
