I am wondering how my fellow DBA's fit into their IS organization.  My
situation is this.  I was hired just a little over a year ago as a DBA but
my official title is network programmer.  Except for some job scripting I
have not done any coding.  I am the only DBA for 5 Oracle databases and 4
SQL Server installations.  Currently my boss is the head of development.  I
work with the developers and with the network admins equally.  I sometimes
feel a bit of a conflict with me being under the developers.  I have been
thinking about approaching the VP of IS about having me be under him rather
than being under development.  I feel I need to have equal footing with the
development managers and with the network admins.  Right now I am kind in
limbo with no real authority.
So anyway, I am just wondering where you fit in your organization and what
is the appropriate place for the DBA.
And yes I got called into work.  Sucks to be me today.  :o)

Thanks,

Dave
