Hello,

I´ve been a Data Adminsitrator for over 10 years now, and I still see some misconcepts about the function. All opinions will be welcome on the following topics:

Does the DA function have to do with the physical environment(Oracle,DB2 or other) - I don´t think so.
Does the DA have to be under the development group or directly related to the adminstrative staff? I believe it´s on the second group
Is the DA function technical(related to the first question) or purely conceptual, once the DA is the enterprise´s information keeper. I believe it´s more conceptual than any other function in IT.

I thank you all in advance for sharing your ideas, Marco Received on Thu Jun 06 2002 - 14:14:49 CDT
