Yet Another DBA (3/31/2015)
...For myself I dont have a degree in CS and am self taught. Most of those I have worked with that do have a CS degree dont tend to understand databases to any depth, but instead want to see the database as a dumb store and do all those pesky reports...
I have seen both CS graduates and non-CS graduates in both the understanding and non-understanding categories.
For graduates it depends so much on the institution attended and even the courses/modules taken. For both it seems that interest has a huge impact as usual as well as their peers.
I must say that CS graduates who studied databases as opposed to those who just utilised them have, in my experience, a better understanding and appreciation for them.
