Thanks for the article Craig. One note is that too many times people read DBA or Database Developer and pigeon hole a candidate into being exclusively a production dba or development dba. Many times a DBA is a combination of all of the jobs. 😀
I'd agree in reality this is true. It's also far too much for a Junior to be able to handle. One thing I can hope this article will start to do is get people thinking about removing that generic name and making DBA mean what it's supposed to, rather then the catch-all.
Never stop learning, even if it hurts. Ego bruises are practically mandatory as you learn unless you've never risked enough to make a mistake.
