It may not be limited to things such as processes, computer software, information systems, computer hardware, programming languages and data constructs.
So part of those within the IT industry are the Database Administrators. Basically the task of the DBAs are focused on the design, implementation and monitoring of the database environment. For those who are not familiar of database, it is an organized collection of data. The DBA Task remains the same which will only depend on the technology he'll be handling. Such as Oracle, MS SQL, MySQL, Informix, DB2 and basic like Access and other technologies.
The task that the DBAs concern:
- Installing and upgrading of database server
- Storage allocations
- Tables, Views and Indexes
- Users of the database (Enrolling, Access Controls and Maintenance)
- Backup and recovery plans
- Monitoring and optimizing the performance of the database
So if be asked the importance of the DBAs, basically they are the once keeping the company's data safe and easy to to recover. For a very large company, its hard to maintain data specially if your doing it manually but with DBAs at your side you can assure that your data are safe and could be retrieved easily when needed.
As an emerging DBA, though we're only limited to those task but if streched our way to learn other technologies as well, rest assured that you will have a good future as a Database Administrator.
