Correct. The developer will usually get the better way done, while a DBA will usually just say it can't be done.
Ouch, although I think that is almost true in a lot of circumstances:
Just the other day a developer's 'solution' entailed enabling xp_cmdshell, switching authentication to mixed mode and creating a sql user in the sysadmin role just to programmatically copy log files from a SQL machine. I said that can't be done! :hehe:
LOL
(My solution would be SSIS, if I had to use something SQLy for it.)
