The problem with this is the case when a database is part of a software package that is sold to multiple clients.

The DBA typically works for a client, while the original database designer works for the vendor, or the people the vendor bought the rights from. I think this is not a trivial distinction. Received on Mon Feb 07 2005 - 07:23:28 CST
