Yep. The DBA has to have political, diplomatic and managerial skills as well as be on firm technical footing. This is particularly true in an inherited situation, where the users, management et al are used to having things there way. In the situation I walked into, many had their own instances, dba privs, you name it - 22 instances in all. Oracle was treated like a desktop database. Lots of education about schemas, synonyms, security etc., discussion and in some cases, a form similar to yours when I was pressured to upgrade a production installation with no test installation. A series of passive DBA's can lead to some strange configurations indeed.
