Good article about trying to work together. But it goes both ways. I'm a DBA and we have a developer who does EVERYTHING as a DTS package. Each step in the package has two 'side' steps to email her if that step is 1) successful or 2) fails. Yes for every step in the package. We try to get her to change her ways, but nothing happens. She will have a problem and then makes it our problem to solve.
