What position typically controls an organization database? - how to fix a broken board of directors
What is the position of the rule controls a database of the organization?
If the administrator of the database? Unit Leaders? The Executive Director? The CEO? The Board of Directors?
I need input here, I just started a new job as manager of the database. a company whose database is very large and has many hands on them with zero consistency. This will clean a tremendous job. I was told that my work is cleaning the database, but I have the power to change things are done. Therefore, stood one of the problems, as things, why the data are unreliable. I informed the board of the situation, his reaction was, are the things in the work done, so it does not fix anything that is not broken.
I can not help that I need a job in this economic and IT jobs are hard to find. Suggestions on how to handle this situation?

You're right that the DBA (Database Administrator) is the main engine of the base of the organization. This includes the database, such as the structure, operation, and so on. The data that is controlled by the user and make the change and the elimination of data must be in the hands of the community.
In your situation, and tried to the limits in the data push. I propose that we proposed some changes and include a value proposition for end users. Needless to say, that the data make it difficult problems in your work. But measuring the attacks on the problem with an economy measure or a profit. These are all questions that the deputy of the day. If you can demonstrate this value to change their habits, it becomes much easier.
On the side of the database. They make life easier by providing a better referential integrity between tables, and scripts for automatic cleaning.
Good luck!
Well, maybe you're in a situation where you have to show what we do. This is a proposal and no more, my advice is worth what you pay for it. ;-)
The establishment of a database schema (in "paper" first), based on improvements he should. Then you get to create the new database table and some data from existing databases and other import and install the new database. The following is an overview of the administration, the types of Web-Development Web-access, to see how it works to generate (I come here I do not know) the details of your website.
If they demo the improvements that can be done with small pieces of data, you may be able to sell a complete transformation. Moreover, they explainin parallel with the existing activities and testing with users, will be strengthened.
Good luck. They seem to be a real challenge. They did not discourage him.
I wish no offense by this, and I apologize if I'm wrong ... but sounds like you are relatively new in the professional world, am I right?
The only reason why I say this because it treats all with this kind of thing. My first job was in IT as a developer of complete systems, I am with a million and great ideas on how it should work submitted (hard learned in school). I optimally configured to standardize and normalize what I could get my hands.
It took a few days on the reality of things get:
1. nothing is what it should, "depending on what you have learned regarding best practices.
2, the the main reason why you have a problem.
3, if 3 of 5 people with whom we work, certaintifiably responsible role in their work, you are one of the lucky ones.
And finally, when working, change management is reluctant. Large firms have much in the rule that is easily broken or disabled persons who do not have the time nor the money to their talent to questions that "work" even if you send a track to do it with the elegance of an elephant drunk.
All I can say is: you get used to.
You are right, not to seek to a different job ... longer adequate, this type of environment you can go almost anywhere.
