Episode 33: From Developer To DBA

Listen Later

Many developers will make the transition to the DBA role and in this episode I chat with Amy Herold about making that very move.  Amy started as a C#/.NET developer and moved into the database world as an “accidental” DBA.

Amy shares her tips and stories from the trenches, including:

  • The move from row-based thinking to set-based thinking
  • How to manage developer access in production
  • The database performance activities new DBAs need to master
  • The importance of getting code reviews outside the developer team
  • The tool Amy relies on as a DBA, and the one event you shouldn’t miss
  • Why Amy believes that moving around frequently can be good for your career

    • You can get the links and show notes at http://sqldatapartners.com/2016/03/01/developer2dba/.  Have fun on the SQL trail.
