To meet the upcoming demands on IT systems database administrators (DBAs) need to prepare the database and its supporting infrastructure for increased resource demands. Being proactive now can pay big dividends by maintaining service level agreements (SLAs), avoiding outages and resource shortages, and ensuring a positive overall customer experience.
DBAs are expensive, so isn't their time valuable? Are you aware of what you cost the company and use your time wisely? Steve Jones talks a bit about how to choose on what you should be working.
A DBA should provide two things, a service and leadership. For Grant Fritchey, it was whilst serving a role in the Scouts of America that he had his epiphany.

Are we DBAs doing it wrong in the way we interact with our co-workers?

I have this code in SQL Server 2022:
CREATE SCHEMA etl;
GO
CREATE TABLE etl.product
(
ProductID INT,
ProductName VARCHAR(100)
);
GO
INSERT etl.product
VALUES
(2, 'Bee AI Wearable');
GO
CREATE TABLE dbo.product
(
ProductID INT,
ProductName VARCHAR(100)
);
GO
INSERT dbo.product
VALUES
(1, 'Spiral College-ruled Notebook');
GO
CREATE OR ALTER PROCEDURE etl.GettheProduct
AS
BEGIN
exec('SELECT ProductName FROM product;')
END;
GO
exec etl.GettheProduct
When I execute this code as a user whose default schema is dbo and has rights to the tables and proc, what is returned? See possible answers
