Re: Top 5 responsibilities of a DBA

1. Backups!
2. Tuning & Optimization (indexes/procedures/etc)
3. DB day-to-day Administration
4. writing SQL code for day-to-day problems/checks/etc
5. writing SQL code for projects/data migration/etc

Not necessarily in that order, but backups is definately #1! I may have missed one or two but these should be it for the most part.
