I am currently working in a SQLServer 2000 project.
I feel more interest to work with database than front end coding.
Can anyone suggest what need to be done for the one to be a DBA.
Could you please provide more details on the roles and responsibilities and the scope for career development on becoming a DBA.
In what Timeline can i be a DBA. After becoming a DBA what are the career options available. Please help me out in deciding my career
Thanks in Advance,

Hi All,
Please excuse me for asking this question in this forum.
I need some help regarding my career plan
Presently i am working as SQL Server DBA and recently i have got an offer on Business Objects.
I do not have any idea about this technology.
Do you think is this right step to move? Would it be helpful to my career?
Any help would be appreciated..:-)
Thanks,
Hi all,
I Hope you experts in the field can give me some advice.
I have made a decision that i want to base the rest of my career on MS SQL Server. I have been dabbling and using various parts for the last 7 years (mostly with EM and not TSQL, although I can write basic queries) For the past 7 years or so my career has been based on the GoldMine product (which can sit on a SQL database - this is where the experience has come from)
I have actually already qualified as an MCDBA but I don't really think that this counts for much as experience is more crucial.
However I am fed up with GoldMine and want a more challenging career.
But it seems that careers in SQL can go one of three ways;
1. database administration,
2. database development,
3. business intelligence.
Is this correct?
How much cross over is there generally in these roles or are they distinct in themselves. e.g. does a dba need to know how to create a data cube and use reporting services?
I really am trying to figure out what's best for me, I enjoy using Crystal reports and have just been trying out SQL reporting services and doing a tutorial on "Creating a data cube" (very tough) Anyway, I guess these tasks are leaning towards the BI side of things.
My nature is that I am more of a practical person than a thinking person so am more drawn to DBA.
Any advice that you can give to help me in making this choice will be really gladly welcomed.
Thanks

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe ran into weird/interesting issue with below details.
Version: Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3000.0 (X64) Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.2 <X64> (Build 9200):
We are using SQLCMD to run DDL script on our product database in below order. That script has below content.
step # 1 - database collation change (case -sensitive) statement as very first statement of the script
step # 2 - Actual DDL SQL statements
step # 3 - database collation change back to original (case insensitive)
When we execute all above 3 steps in single script using SQLCMD on our test_server#1 , it is successful but when same is being implemented on test_ server#2 , it is failing.We ensured that there is no other user accessing the db and setting on both the server are all default/basic. Separating out all 3 steps in 3 different script working fine. This is only problem when we combine them into single script and fire it using SQLCMD. If it is something related to session/transaction then we should hit same issue on our test_server#1 server as well but that is not the case.test_server#1 and test_server#2 has exact same database/data, just two different physical machine & SQL Server instance.
can you change the dbo after you've already made the database?

I have a web app, designed using VWD Express and using SQL 2005 Express. It has a mdf database called "client". It was created using security of windows authentication. I have already changed my instance of sql server express to accept mixed windows and sql authentication.
How do I change my "client" database's permissions to the sql authentication? I need to add a user name and password as a requirement for my web host to be able to attach the mdf to their instance of sql 2005. It has to be the same user and password as I use with my web host's sql server 2005.
Thank you in advance.

When I try to execute a query and after 30 seconds the program sends me error :
Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
Exception Detail: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
Source error:
Line 550 Dim myDataSet as Dataset = New DataSet
Line 551 myDataSet = db.ExecuteDataSet(System.Data.CommanType.Text,NewSql) <== Error line
Line 552 i=myDataSet.Tables(0).Rows.Count
In my connection string I set the parameter "Connection Timeout" = 360 but it not works. ( In debug mode the value for db.GetConnection.ConnectionTimeout is the same(360) like the parameter timeout connection.
After many searchs I found the default value for CommandTimeout is 30 secs. Can I change this value ?
Any suggestion will be welcome.
I'm using FrameWork 1.1.
I was simply trying to create a sql command using ASP 2.0 but the syntax appears to have changed. I was trying to write the following:
SqlCommand cmdUpdateData = new SqlCommand("AddMessage", myConnection);
cmdUpdateData.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
But, intellisence will not offer me the second 'CommandType' on the second line?? It works fine using ASP 1.1 but not here on 2.0
Can anyone please help?
hi,
I just imported my access database into sql server 2000 and apparently during this importation the owner was set to my name. This gives my a problem retrieving the data in asp.net though. I found out that the problem (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Invalid object name 'tablename') is situated at this ownership by stripping the query to a bare minimum and trying it on a new table created in sql server with dbo as the owner.
My problem now is that I can't seem to find the way to change the owner to dbo from 'peterj'. Can you help me on this one ??

I have a few ASPs that were written to pull from an Access 97 database. Now that we have converted the data over to a SQL database, the ASPs have been changed accordingly. My problem is that I have two ASPs which use an Inner Join between three tables where the main field (in this case it is called "INDEX") is what the pull is based on. When I try to run the ASPs I recieve this error .
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'INDEX'.
The line that it identifies is where the connection is actually opened.
This is only occuring on the ASPs that use the column INDEX and an inner join. The straight style number pulls (which have the same connection string)
are working fine. Any ideas?
Is there a way in SS 7.0 to change ownership of an object from a user owned object to dbo owned object other than dropping the object and re-creating it? E.G. juser.table to dbo.table
Thank you,

We need to test a DTS package provided by a vendor. The DTS package imports data from flat files to a database. However, when I go in and change the DTS connection object for the database, it drops the data transformation properties. When I look at the properties it automatically points to the first (alphabetically speaking) table of our database. There is no way for me to verify that the mapping I am creating for these tables is accurate (and matches what the vendor had originally set). I am new to MS SQL and haven't found the answer ... any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Can you easily change the character set during a 6.5 to 7.0 upgrade using the SQL upgrade wizard? Or do you have to rebuild master etc?
