Book excerpt: In the Information Technologies industry there are few domains less understood than Database Administration. People keep asking what the responsibilities of a Database Administrator are, what the specific tasks and processes Database Administrators rely on to fulfill those responsibilities, and by which rules Database Administrators abide to deal with whatever they do. Some people ask those questions out of simple curiosity, others because they are in or close to a DBA role, others because they have to deal with DBAs in a user, developer or management, etc. capacity, and want to have a better understanding of the DBA world. Everyone has its own reasons to ask questions about the database administration world; questions are always the same. This book intends to answer those questions. The final intention is to help you understand the world of Database Administration without resorting to technicalities and independently of the technology of choice and, without a single SQL command. Enjoy it.
