• Ok, a more serious reply than my previous one.

    Honesty is critical here. You can't make it about a person or that becomes a conflict. You can make it about the position. Sit down with the boss and with the jna and see what they actually expect of you. Maybe your perception going into this job was different than what they expected. Share with them what you expect a DBA to be doing. If there isn't an agreement on what the expectations are then work through getting those clarified. If you find at the end of that conversation that this isn't the role that you thought it would be, then you have some decisions to make. If there is a willingness to adjust these responsibilities to the appropriate person, then you can start in that effort. Again, honesty and openness and it can't be a person issue.

    Hope things work better for you.
