I have some queries regarding the job as a backend developer.1.Can you please explain the job responsibilities of a sql server developer?2.Where does the distinction lie between a Database developer and a DBA?3.Is it possible to switch careers from a database developer to a DBA? How are they interelated?4.Does the job responsibilities of a DB Develper includes the Database Design, Creation of tables, Stored Procedures, Dependancies etc?5.Does the future look good for Database developers? I am interested more in backend and database related issues. Is it possible to stick on to backend or I will have to learn front end tools like ASP.net,Java?What are the topics that you could learn related to databases like Datawarehousing that has a good value in the job market? |

| 1. Typically all of the SQL code is done by the SQL developer, but the DBA might help with some of it too. 2. It depends. If you are talking about a production DBA, then there isn't much relation between the two. But if you are talking about a development DBA, then a development DBA would be very close to a SQL developer. It really depends on the company though. I'm both a production DBA and a development DBA. I only help out with the SQL development code though.3. Yes.4. Yes typically.5. A database developer probably will have some involvement in the frontend tools, especially when it comes to reports. But a DBA will not necessarily need experience with frontend tools.Study business intelligence, including data warehousing and reporting.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Subscribe to my blog |
