“The best DBA is a lazy DBA…or at least a Minimalist DBA” Every profession has a core set of responsibilities that are expected of every practitioner. For anyone that has the letters “DBA” in their job description their job function is a black box to anyone on the outside. “What do you do here?” is a common question for most DBAs. Some DBAs are a part-time data modelers, SAN admins, VM admins. Sometimes they know all about security, or Active Directory, or .NET. It differs from one shop to another. Whether it is day one or one hundred in your career as a DBA you need to make certain you stay focused on your core duties. If you slip up then you will find out why DBA often stands for Default Blame Acceptor. Attend this webinar to make sure that no matter what your level of efficiency and laziness you are able to focus on the bare essentials (the minimum) necessary to be a Rockstar DBA.”
