I understand and completely agree, but are there any other options? I dont see any but just add a column in the future when necessary.
Dead on target. The only time you don't need a database developer is when the application is stagnant or you don't care about performance. If either of these are the case, you won't be adding columns (and indexing and proc cleanup and statistic checking and...), you'll be designing around your DB Dev or he'll be busy elsewhere until the project unstagnates.
Never stop learning, even if it hurts. Ego bruises are practically mandatory as you learn unless you've never risked enough to make a mistake.
