Database Administrator
- I am learning and practicing MySQL since January 2019. I am enjoying creating databases and creating tables and play with them. I started with the basics like,
- Data Manipulation Language
- Data Definition Language
- Data Control Language
- Transactional Control Language
- Since my college degree is not on Database Administration, so a Database Administrator certificate would help to fulfill that requirement, Oracle University offering some courses on DBA to get the certificate online or onsite
- Cloud technology is growing very fast and most companies moving to cloud instead of traditional databases so an AWS certificate would help
- Linux operating system certification also a plus for this job I learned as I researched Job description on Dice
- I have a friend named Abu Tamim who got the job by doing a course on DBA and he has no college degree, so I would do a course on DBA beside my college degree and since I am finishing my degree in similar field and that’s a plus for me. Tamim also guiding how to be a Database Administrator.
- Things I need to learn,
- How to Monitor the system
- Manage and Maintain configurations to ensure performance and availability
- Setup and maintain SQL server for encryption
- High Availability
- Scalability
- Security
- And more
