Why your organization need a DBA?

SQL Server is a costly and complex database management server. Performance of SQL Server database very with resource usage by processes, workload and data size with in tables and indexes. A professional database administrator with vast knowledge of SQL Server internals can only resolve daily challenges of this costly software.

SQL Server cumulative updates are necessary as Microsoft team continuously fixes issues and most of these issues are critical. However, Not a Single cumulative update is released without any ripple effects on performance or server maintenance. Updates without supervision of Database Administrator are difficult for mission critical databases.

If your production data is growing at very high speed, it is necessary to identify cold data and archive separate from hot data. ETL process to archive and import data can be flawless through a database administrator who is well aware of SQL Server capabilities.

SQL Server stores, handles unstructured binary data very differently as compared to structured data and very large database (VLDB) require higher-level skills and additional monitoring and tuning to maintain efficiency.

DBAs create backup and recovery plans and procedures based on industry best practices, then make sure that the necessary steps is followed. Backups cost time and money, so the DBA may have to persuade management to take necessary precautions to preserve data.

System admins or other personnel may actually create the backups, but it is the DBA’s responsibility to make sure that everything done on schedule and backups are available and restorable when required.

DBAs proactively monitor all the processes and make full database or part of database recovery efficient and according to the need of the business.

Database Administrator are well aware of potential weaknesses of the database software and the company’s overall system and work to minimize risks. No system is one hundred per cent immune to attacks, but implementing best practices can minimize risks.

In the case of a security breach or irregularity, DBA facilitates to analyses logs and meta data to identify who has done what to the data. DBA is the only person knows when and where audit trails are required.

Unnecessary sysadmin accounts and extra privileges to database users can be a disaster. DBAs control who has access and what type of access they are allowed. How and what data can be used by developers and other users is primary job of a database administrator. Keeping eye on all data access on daily basis can only be done through a dedicated database administrator.

The DBA keeps close eye on how large the database currently is and how fast it is growing in order to make predictions about future needs. Storage refers to how much room the database takes up in server and backup space. Capacity refers to usage level.

Dedicated DBA through continuous monitoring can suggest disk space capacity as well as hardware in advance to avoid any show stopping issue as well as avoiding extra cost.

Monitoring databases for performance issues is part of the on-going system maintenance a DBA performs. Developers write code only for small set of data and SQL Server optimizer behaves differently accordingly to size of the data and available resources.  Continuous monitoring through a dedicated skilled database administrator can only keep database performance up to the mark.

Further, with high volume of data, new code from developers is verified by DBA before uploading to production and suggestions for better performing code can be made proactively.

Performance monitoring shows where the database should be tweaked to operate as efficiently as possible. The physical configuration, the way the database is indexed, and how queries are handled, can all have a dramatic effect on database performance.

With effective monitoring, it is possible to proactively tune a system based on application and database usage instead of waiting until a problem develops.

DBAs are on call for troubleshooting in case of any problems. Whether they need to quickly restore lost data or correct an issue to minimize damage, a DBA is the only source to quickly understand and respond to problems when they occur.
