Both 'DBA's' and DB Developers are usually exceptionally methodical and organised men and women, that have a good interest in fine detail, and enjoy working within smaller teams, or alone. The work routinely requires presenting to senior managers, and so good communication skills are needed. Handling an organisation's databases is quite a responsible position - and safety and security is constantly evolving into a bigger concern in this field. A very high level of personal ethic and commercial dependability will undoubtedly be necessary - and in many areas you might need some form of security-clearance. Specialists from business & accountancy backgrounds often make very good DBA's, & often the role is a stepping stone to a more advanced placement within the organisation's hierarchy.

If you want to go after a career in Database Development, the 'MCITP' DB Developer qualification is suitable. Without truly extending in to Database programming, this handles more of the original rationale and set-up of Databases. If you are interested in database programming then you should check out the suitable programming pages on this web site. As a whole, there is a very much larger focus with both students and employers for the Administration of databases. Even so, in the event the developer route is for you, it would be a good idea to include the MCITP DB-Developer into a wider Programming training-track. As each year passes, you should also think of taking the 'MCTS' accreditation in SQL Server '08.

Ensure all your qualifications are current and also valid commercially - don't bother with studies that only give in-house certificates. The main industry leaders such as Microsoft, CompTIA, Cisco or Adobe all have globally recognised skills courses. Huge conglomerates such as these will make your CV stand-out.
