If that is the case then one of two things is the issue.

  1. The developers need to be fired or trained because in many shops the developers are as knowledgeable as the DBAs. Dell in Austin Texas, where I was last week, comes immediately to mind. Their entire team is sharp.
  2. The management needs to be fired or trained because they should never have allowed a situation where developers did not have the required skills to be database developers.

If you are willing to tolerate a situation where DBAs are competent and developers are not then, analogously, you are willing to tolerate a situation where judges are competent and attorney's are not ... or surgeons are competent and surgical nurses are not. I find none of these situations tolerable at any level.
