Database Administrator Jobs in Smithfield, RI

A Database Administrator (DBA) plays a crucial role in the technology industry by managing, securing, and taking care of the database systems. They are responsible for designing, implementing, and managing the database systems, ensuring that the data is available, protected from loss and corruption, and easily accessible when needed. They also oversee the performance, integrity, and security of databases, and develop, manage, and test back-up and recovery plans. Additionally, they ensure that the database's storage and archiving procedures work correctly and participate in strategic planning related to the organizations' database systems.

To become a successful Database Administrator, one must possess an array of important skills such as problem-solving, communication, understanding of structured query language (SQL), and familiarity with database design and data modeling. They should have a good understanding of database management system software and knowledge of both physical and logical database design. Certifications like Oracle Certified Professional (OCP), Microsoft SQL Server database certifications, or IBM DB2 database certification are highly valuable in this field. Prior job roles that could lead to a DBA position include Database Developer, Data Analyst, or Systems Administrator.
