In the Information Technologies industry there are few domains less understood than Database Administration. This book is easy to read, easy to understand, very well organized. A rare window to the database administrator's world shedding light on how they think and work.
People keep asking what are the responsibilities of a Database Administrator, what are 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, 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. After describing database administration objectives and best practices the book goes beyond showing how and where DBA's are inserted in the socio-technical system - full of valuable information including rules and tips. DBAs and everybody dealing with DBAs will benefit from this book.
This is a technology agnostic book meaning that it applies to the field of database administration in general rather than focusing on any specific database vendor technology in particular. Enjoy it.
