In the following tabulation we list a number of different roles and players that would normally be associated with the database systems environment at any organisation.

Provision has been made for proponents of the (Date) Relational Model of the data to be listed at item E06 as consultants in that specialised field. Is this appropriate?

I'd like to know if this classification is realistic and if it is more or less complete. If it is not complete, what other roles are found associated with the running and management of database systems - in general?

Thanks for any further input.
