Being the DBA
The involuntary DBA role
The previous DBA left and your boss decided you should cover the position. But where do you start? Which questions should you ask? What should you do first? You don't even know what it is you don't know. We'll discuss maintenance, disaster recovery, storage, performance, and monitoring. We'll touch on many other areas as well so you'll at least have heard a bit about them and you'll know to learn more and ask questions on them.
