    Pinoy DBA Corner

    Any DBAs here?

    Been working in Accenture as Oracle DBA. Accenture is my first company, so I am just curious what other companies offer good DBA positions. Good in terms of the following:

    1. Working inveronment
    2. Salary Package
    3. Exposure to different scenarios ( RAC, Database Upgrades, Tuning, Handle Data Recovery etc )
    4. Is it stressful or tama ***?
    5. may night shift ba?
    6. Benefits
    7. Management

    Thanks..

    I heard maganda daw and DBA sa TERADATA. Is it true?

    DBAs let your voice be heard.
    Cheers

    hayysss..

    wala man *** nagrerply..hehe

    my ideal DBA company.

    1. No night shift, mid shift is totally fine.
    2. good exposure to different DBA tasks, exposure in linux/unix and pl/sql, tuning etc.
    3. good blend of work and play, may day na pwede ka rin mag-petiks ang watch your stocks in the office.
    4. good salary syempre and benefits.
    5. uses the latest technology at least man *** 10g Oracle database or 11g mas maganda.
    6. good environment, meaning masaya kasama empleyado hindi puro nerds.
    7. good management.

    i want to know what other DBAs think.

    the more ideas the better.
    select * from pinoyexchange.com where profession = 'DBA';

  3. #3
    select count(*) as TotalDBA from pex where profession like '%DBA%'

    Result:
    TotalDBA = 0

    hi albertos, meron ako JO sa accenture for Microsoft SQL-Server Developer. MS Developer mga prev jobs ko (VB,C#,C++,etc...), pero wala ata opening that time ng ganun position kaya dun ako pina apply, since medyo matagal na rin naman ako exposed sa MS SQL Server (Development, konting Management at BI). Or baka nakita nila na mas malaki chance ko for that position.
    My questions:
    1. Me idea ka ba anu yung mga actual work para sa ganitong position?
    2. Possible ba na ma involve din ako sa Oracle DB related work?
    2. Qualified ba yung maging experience ko dito for a DBA position in the future?
    3. Okay ba ang DBA sa opinion mo, compared to developer?

    parang gsto ko kase ng DBA naman, kakapagod na mag program hehe...

    Im into software development. If you already have years of experience in ( say 2 years ) MS then probably they are going to deploy you into a project using that technology however there is a possibility that you will be retooled once vacancy for that capability has been met inside the company.To answer your question:

    1. I do not have an idea, purely DBA lang kasi roles ko.
    2. yes, possible since may alam ka naman sa SQL but you have to work it out. upon your entry you will be placed in the bench then managers will choose among employees from the bench who they think will be best for their project.
    the project will dictate your role. if you are lucky a manager might pick you for a DBA role but if not you can negotiate with your HR for you to be assigned for DBA roles after maybe your regularization hehe.
    3. as i said it depends but for me you are qualified. meron nga dito DBA na galing BPO, isipin mo na lang yun..hehe
    4. it depends on your strengths. but i think both have good salaries.
    para sakin mas gusto ko DBA kasi ECE grad ako..hehe
    to give you a background, DBA roles involve 50% programming ang 50% database management. the programming part involves shell scripting, sql and pl/sql but not too hardcore unlike what the developers are doing. the other 50% involves many tasks that is database related. advanced DBAs would do SQL tuning, database upgrades, cloning, cloud computing and many more ( pero wala pa ako sa ganyang level hehe )..

    madali lang kung single instance.
    Sa Virtual Box , install ka ng Oracle Linux na OS from edelivery.oracle.com
    Then Run ka RDA, then install mo rpms na kulang , correct kernel parameters etc...
    Then Download mo na yung Database Software.
    Then create ka na ng Database.
    Straight forward naman ang install.

    wala po eh. Bihira maghire ng DBA pag entry level. Best shot mo is company like Accenture , parefer ka na kay albertos.
