I'd like a good definition of what a DBA is as well. Or better yet a range of Database related job titles:DBA - The A stands for Administrator (which implies different things to different people)...
database developer - someone with programming experience as well (like .Net - not just T-SQL).
BI developer....
I've seen a lot of job ads that say DBA, but really want a programmer who can access a database...
Here's one from the Occupational Outlook Handbook. It may not be perfect, but I like that handbook because it is a good start on helping to define professions. But I noticed that DBAs are still not broken out into their own field. They are listed as part of computer scientists.

A SQL query walks into a bar and sees two tables. He walks up to them and asks, "Can I join you?"
