What does a database administrator (dba) do?
The primary responsibility of the dba is to design and implement a company's database architecture. This includes determining the type of database management system (DBMS), as well as how many servers are needed. The dba also installs and configures all necessary software, including operating systems and DBMSes. The dba also ensures all data stored in the database is secure against hackers or malicious third parties. They achieve this by performing regular backups on their own or sending them offsite for safekeeping.
