Lately this question has been a bit of a hot discussion topic at work. Lots of folks have differing opinions, many of which have merit. So I’m curious, what do folks think the true primary role of a DBA is?
For those of you who might answer “it depends on what the client wants”; that’s a perfectly true answer. If that’s your opinion, I’d ask that you pick the poll answer closest to what is true for you and your clients.
And if anyone has suggestions on other roles, please leave them in the comments and I’ll gladly look at adding them.
