So, why do you need written rules? Are these folks not talking to each other?

I currently work in a highly proceduralized environment. Nothing routine gets done in less than three weeks after being blessed by several layers of management and a change review committee. This is a very inefficient way to do business. Oddly enough, if it really matters, the Unix group and the DBAs figure it out together and just get the work done.

A good starting point for procedures can be found on Microsoft's web site - the SQL Server operations manual. Sun's site also has some good documentation guidelines but you will have to extrapolate for your environment.

Let common sense be your guide!
