Subject: database administration
questions
Hi! I'm looking
into getting into the field of Database Administrating. Right now, I
have experience with MS Access and have created several databases for
companies that I have worked with in the past with Access. I'm looking
for a jump in my career and the next logical step for me, I would think, would
be in database field. However, I also have some networking knowledge
(Cisco certified...). So, I'm looking into the advantages of both
fields. I have some questions & I'm not sure who to ask or where to
get my answers. But, here they go: Questions for a
Database Administrator: 1) What is your typical workday like?
2) Do you work a lot of overtime? 3) What are the most valuable
databse programs to learn? 4) If I was to look into learning these, should
I take classes? Where would you recommend I look for classes in the Los
Angeles area? 5) What language, if any, are important (Java, XML, Visual
Basic, etc.)? 6) What programs are starting to get obsolete? 7) Is it
worth it to get vendor certifications (Microsoft, Oracle)? If so, are there
certain books that you recommend to study? 8) Is it worth it to get a
degree? If so, what specific one? 9) Are there any other programs or
technologies that are valuable to learn? 10) Are there any associations or
other groups that you belong to as a DBA? 11) What kinds of companies hire
DBAs? 12) What companies do you recommed to work for? Know of any
currently hiring? 13) With my background, what is the best way to advance
and work my way into a real DBA position? Thank you, whom ever reads
this and answers back with at least some answers to some of the questions.
I really appreciate your help!!! Please, respond to me at
lbanzali_at_aol.com smiles, me thank you!
