    Role of a Database Administrator

    1.1. Introduction

    A description for the perfect Database Administrator would be a benevolent king of queen. To achieve
    success in this job, the database administrator must have a tight reign over the database kingdom. A DBA
    must surround the database castle with a moat, lowering the drawbridge only to those who have earned the
    right to use the database. Only friends – not opponent – can enter the database. Like a benevolent king or
    queen. The ideal Database Administrator is concerned with the safety and security of the castle. This
    means appropriate measures are taken and procedures are established to make sure the database is backed
    up and secured. DBA also measures the performance of the database and takes the corrective action to
    ensure adequate response time. This is a critical role, which should be present early in the process.

    At last, an attribute of a perfect DBA which separates him from others is the power and will for not giving
    up till the last minute.
