What do SQL Server DBAs do all day?

The answer really is… it depends on the day.

Most DBAs start their day with some kind of caffeine.. usually coffee… then start checking job failures and other alerts.

Did any jobs fail last night? If so… was it a critical job? Can we kick it off right now during core hours? Why did it fail? Backup failures will need to be kicked off immediately.

We simply can’t have production databases without backups. The good thing about backups is there highly optimized and can often be run during core hours.

The DBA will have to troubleshoot the failures and answer the questions above.

You’ll set up dev, test and other non-production environments. You’ll create users, import and export data and plan high availability and disaster recovery options.

In this course I’m going to cover some fundamental tasks the SQL Server DBA may be asked to perform on a day in day out basis.
