DBAs work with developers to improve systems, fix technical problems, and ensure databases help organizations achieve their goals. This job requires both tech and business skills.

Organizations rely on various systems like ERP, CRM, CMS, and SCM to function. These platforms generate vast amounts of information, which is housed in a central hub known as a DATABASE. This core system is designed to simplify data retrieval and management.

A Database Administrator (DBA) is the architect, builder, and caretaker of an organization’s database. They craft a robust, high-quality data ecosystem that performs consistently and reliably.

DBA work falls into two main categories:

Infrastructure DBA: These specialists ensure the database’s constant availability and smooth operation. Their focus spans performance enhancement, data security, backup procedures, and swift problem resolution. They collaborate closely with the IT department, overseeing servers and technical infrastructure.

Application DBA: These experts configure and manage schemas (including indexes and tables) within organizational systems. Their work enables each system to access and utilize database information swiftly and efficiently. They frequently partner with development teams and may occasionally code interfaces themselves.

Recent advancements in database technology have led to an evolution in DBA roles. Infrastructure DBAs are now venturing into DevOps territories, while Application DBAs are increasingly referred to as Data Engineers. This shift reflects the expanding skill set required in these positions, building upon the solid foundation of expertise that DBAs already possess.
