Database Development and Administration

Participates in conceptual, logical data modeling and physical design, database implementation, maintenance, and support.

Sample Titles:
    Data Analyst
    Database Analyst
    Database Developer
    Systems Administrator


As a database administrator, you will first gather data to determine user requirements. You may also gather the information to design reports and forms so users can create data queries and interpret the results. You'll determine needed changes either to new systems or existing systems as they grow, and test everything before it's put into operation. To keep data secure and protected from catastrophic events, you create security procedures and implement backup and recovery processes. You need to be creative in your approach to problems and willing to help everyone get the data they need while maintaining system security and reliability.
