Certainly do Martin, not always in house apps and devs that do it either, two off-the-shelf examples that make life "fun" where I am, are the atrocious code of Siebel ( a thoroughly nasty application ) and Business Objects.

I work with a very talented group of developers. Yes, they have their faults -- but so do I. The vast majority of code that I watch flying through our database that needs tuning is the generated crap. Anyone else see the same stuff?

No reason to not have both, and the companies you mention have very good reasons for using the tools they do.

Matt, I think your perspective may be a bit different than many of the respondents to this thread.

Many DBA's have to deal with developers that (speaking only of databases here) know how to use a hammer, and every data storage solution looks like a nail.
