The roles of a DBA vary from organization to organization. But the following list shows the primary activities that many DBAs are charged with:
<UL>
<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Back up and recover the database.
</LI><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Install and configure Oracle software.
</LI><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Create new databases.
</LI><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Design the database schema and create any necessary database objects.
</LI><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Formulate optimal application SQL.
</LI><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Ensure database security is implemented to safeguard the data.
</LI><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Work closely with application developers and system administrators to ensure all database needs are being met.
</LI><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Apply patches or upgrades to the database as needed.
</LI></UL>
The list above may not be complete for your organization, but it is a good start. <P></p> </TD></tr></table></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/0CB8BE3E-E0CF-4DD5-B579-5BE8C967FE61/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
