SQL DBA questions to ask SQL developer for a database

  • Hi All,
    As a member of the dba team, we have a need to prepare a template questionnaire that we can hand to our apps development team so they follow a best practice methodology when submitting a database to be put on server.

    The sort of questions we would like to ask would be something like...

    --number  of transactions expected daily/monthly
    --number of concurrent users running this app
    --what is the % of reads/writes

    has anyone used this type of template in the past that you can share ?
    I tried googling this and got hits on job interview related questions for a developer or a dba 🙂

    thanks all, in advance.

    We should make a questionnaire for your DBA Team with just one question on it... here's the question and the correct answer.

    Why the hell are you allowing application Developers to design a database?  That's YOUR job. 😉

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
