Episode 33: From Developer To DBA
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.
