The database administrator (DBA) is responsible for managing and coordinating all database activities. The DBAs job description includes database design, user coordination, backup, recovery, overall performance, and database security. The database administrator plays an important role in managing data for the employer. ... However, the arrival on the scene of the relational database along with the rapidly changing technology has modified the DBA’s role. This has required organizations to vary the way of handling database management (Fosdick).
Traditional database design and data access were complicated. The database administrators job was to oversee any and all database-oriented tasks. This included database design and implementation, installation, upgrade, SQL analysis and advice for application developers. ... The meshing of the old and new database causes administrators to maintain two or three database products on a single network (Wong).
Relational database management systems, RDBMS, incorporate complex features and components to help with logic procedures. This requires organizations to expand the traditional approach to database management and administration. The modern database management systems not only share data, they implement the sharing of common data elements and code elements (DB2 and the Procedural DBA).
Currently, the more sought after relational database products are incorporating more and more complex features and components to simplify procedural logic.
