    Your organization needs to suppoort saying no; it's easy to say this from an ivory tower perspective but you have to have management and executive support.

    This is very true and in the case where management support does not exist, a case needs to be made to get the attitudes, procedures and culture shifted. By not supporting production stability and strongly defined processes the organization is stunting its capabilities (and may not know it).

    Thanks for your comments!

    couldn't agree more, but be prepared to be unpopular with the wrong people! So this is not a task that should be left to a junior DBA.
