Also not a DBA, and pretty much everything I do is via an ORM. Having a good migration system makes me fearless in changing the DB.

Worked with a really great DBA. I'd go into the skunk works and explain what I needed. He'd tell me it was impossible. I would walk slowly to the door. Before I'd get all the way there I'd hear him say "Well, I could......." I will always miss and appreciate him.
