I don't know about a paper, but I've always made a distinction
between these types of DBAs as well.
Development DBA responsibilities:
- initial DB design
- data modelling, data dictionary creation
- naming standards, datatype standards
- sql development
- working w/ front end developers, tuning

George,
Early involvement and advice are certainly in my view essential to the success of a
project. However, concerning the creation of packages, etc. I fear I don't share your
views. Involvement is justified if it adds value. If it's just adding another layer of
red tape, forget about it.
You can try advanced replication. It has overhead of about
10% on multi master synchronous replication on the live system. Use this only if
you can put the servers near enough so you can directly connect then with high
speed network cable.

We are doing exactly that. We use multi master synchronous replication. In
case the regular server dies, we drop replication from the backup machine.
Change one parameter in the application ini file (what db name to use in
connections), start the application again. About 5 minutes turn around
Agree with Stephane on this. Finding a balance of productivity, trust and
security would be the goal...

that simpler systems are less prone to catastrophe, and multimaster
