Titles are meaningless, particularly in IT. I've had DBA titles where I never performed a backup/restore and I've had Developer and Architect titles where I spent way too much time with FileGroups, Snapshots, Replication, etc.

To the Business a DBA signifies a person who can get them reliable information when they ask it.

To the Developers a DBA is their worst nightmare.

To the Network OPS a DBA is the person who thinks they know more about networking than they do (and we often do :cool:). We at least are savvy enough to plan for the fact that no network yet has been up 365x24x7.

To Recruiters a DBA is their meal ticket!
