    Hi,

    Most importantly, try to learn the business as much as possible, this will earn you respect from your peers.

    Also being able to play datacop and defend your DB Design is another important point you should adhere to as a DBA.

    Thanks,

    Change Management.

    Disaster recovery plan if the company has any?

    List of DB which are problematic.

    Planned maintenance window.

    Who is responsible for applying patches?

    Security policies.

    Backup policies. How long your company keep the data.

    Ticket/Escalation process?

He who learns only to accumulate wealth, dies an atheist. And he who learns for the sake of action, dies a mystic."[/i]

    Note that this is a thread over 3 years old.

    However, it's nice that you try to help 😉

    Lol.

    Thanks guys.

    Just for your information.

    After I posted this; I ended up doing more of MS BI work and less of DBA work even though I got a job as a DBA

    and as a result of that I became a very good SSRS/SSIS developer.

    A really good one with 6-7 years of experience who is getting paid more than our company's senior DBA :).

    $$$ matters who cares about title as long as I stay with DB,right?
