You design models and structures for capturing, storing, and linking different types of data. You ensure that interfaces are optimized for user needs so that, even without advanced IT skills, data can be searched, sorted, filtered, and displayed (reporting).
You apply your knowledge of general database environments and architectures as well as domain-specific programming languages (SQL) and control-oriented programming and scripting languages.
As a database administrator, you are deeply familiar with the relevant database architectures, ensure smooth and secure data traffic (input, output, deletion, and logging), assign and manage access rights, and monitor and verify the quality and integrity of the stored data.
You monitor data traffic and error rates.
You quarantine and fix errors in databases, develop guidelines and approaches for system operation that runs as smoothly as possible, perform updates or backups, plan and document releases and configuration changes, and implement security measures that protect system operation against both internal and external attacks.
You run the user support system and manage user rights.
In change management, you analyze database system requirements, review change needs, perform evaluations, compare variants, conduct economic assessments, and implement, configure, and test new software.
