LOL -- developers deciding architecture design. Never really involved in implementing anything, all conceptual.
I am what you call a "production DBA", my personal bias on this is that leaving architecture decisions to developers could be a mistake, if you think long term. The Production DBA should be involved, and should have the ability to veto any hair-brained scheme that is proposed.

Development DBA responsibilities: - initial DB design - data modelling, data dictionary creation - naming standards, datatype standards - sql development - working w/ front end developers, tuning queries - data load, legacy to current Production DBA responsibilties: - day to day administrative support: adding users, creating schemas, moving objects around - backup/recovery - disaster recovery - monitoring - Troubleshooting, working with Oracle Tech Support - Database P&T concerns: buffer pools, tablespace objects, etc. I would NOT force developers to funnel through the DBA to create objects in development. What a roadblock that could be. Instead, have the dba be available as a resource to the developers to handle query tuning concerns, answer SQL questions and the like. my 2 cents.
