in thread Website Application Framework with Sybase, Apache & Perl: My Thoughts

At a certain level of experience in Application design, I see two different "influences":
  1. Application Programmer
  2. DBA

The application programmer likes to keep control in the application, putting DML and DDL in the application, and the DBA influence who likes to keep control in the database..

I personally see the merits of both sides, and, depending on the strength of the DBA's at the site I'm working at, would prefer the DBA control method..

I'm wondering what camp you're coming from? .. ;-)

    Both!
    Seriously though I've mostly worked as a developer for the last 8 years or so, and I've only recently taken up jobs as pure DBA gigs. But I've seen the damage an inconsiderate query can have on a production database too many times, hence the need for controlled access to a resource that if misused will affect not only this one instance but all the other users as well.
