DBA

Each database requires at least one person to administer it, called Database Administrator (DBA).

Some DBA tasks are:

  • Install the software (Microsoft SQL Server) and also upgrade the system.
  • Allocate additional storage spaces taking into account user needs.
  • Create the necessary logical objects (tables, views, indexes, etc.) as soon as the “application developers” have completed a new application.
  • Create users and grant them the necessary privileges.
  • Ensure database security.
  • Check and monitor user access to the database.
  • Monitor and optimize database performance.
  • Plan the most suitable backup and recovery strategy for the database.
