What a Database Administrator does.

  • Install, configure and upgrade database servers.
  • Monitor performance and tune queries, indexes and settings.
  • Manage backups, replication and disaster recovery, and test restores.
  • Control users, roles and permissions to keep data secure.
  • Plan capacity and storage as data grows.
