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,
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
