Hello Guru’s,



My boss is asking me to compile a list of typical job functions for a DBA.
I came up with a brief list, but would like to hear any other
recommendations that you might have. What he said was, “We don’t want to go
into great detail, but not be too vague either. Somewhere between the
10,000ft and 1,000ft view.
