If management allows the developers to run the show up until the point of when it really counts I think there is an issue with the management here and not the DBAs or Developers. Any organization will try and meld the two positions together when it benefits them. Once something does break though then it becomes and ugly game of finger pointing and that what leads to either someone leaving the organization or being let go.
I would have to agree with Leam, if you are in a heavy development cycle there should be a full time DBA that is the gatekeeper to the database. If not I would look elsewhere as well. -- Anthony W. ant92...@gmail.com
