    You should have know the fact that.... DATABASE Administrator knows more than Developer...because all you do in development is a part of DBA's knowledge & work...and apart from it he does lot many activities....

    I'm a developer. I'll happily test my knowledge against a database administrator any day.

    I've known many DBAs that couldn't write a line of code, T-SQL or any other. I've known developers that were more qualified to admin the servers than the admins were. I've seen DBAs that know more about server administration than the server admins. I've also seen developers that couldn't write a line of code without someone telling them what to do, DBAs who were an outright hazard to their companies and server admins whose skills ended with 'install windows'

    Please make sure what is reality, before you comment anything....

    I could suggest the same to you.

    My money's on Gail. 😀

    Ok so what to buy with that new infusion of cash? :Whistling:

    Agreed. And to further the point, I wouldn't want to be a challenger in either martial arts or SQL. :Whistling:

    Agreed, search engines have no place in this list. They should come straight here! 😀

    That scare her into running away for at least a little bit. Now off to find a safe hiding place.

    Nope, those are the clients that give her the most business.

  • I find that DBA work is part developer and part systems admin. Somewhere in the middle of IT as it were. Where exactly the line falls is going to be dependent on the role of the server(s) your managing. For example, a data warehouse has different requirements from say a production server that provides data to a web based application.

    I also think that being a developer provides a good base for becoming a DBA. A good developer will be interested in how to design the lowest cost queries and will learn proper database design and theory.

    Whoa! Hold up. Access is not allowed.

    I once worked at a health insurance company that used a version of Access from the mid 90's to manage their entire network of providers... They would have about 200 people trying to access this thing all day long...

    My job description is simple.

    Get in here, butt in chair & and make sure that stuff works.

    They don't care about the acronyms!
