Mainly SQL

Then you practice on different databases to learn there particular commands.


But i would advise you go deeper into data analysis

Learn Database languages for BigData for future IT. I can't really recall them all, but I suppose they include Cordova, Cassandra, and other NoSql languages and so on...

BigData has relatively nothing to do with database administration.

Cordova is a mobile development framework.
Cassandra is a database.
Nosql is database specific commands and most are sql based.


You just dey throw big big words around grin

Hmm, see this Cyborg ooo cheesy

How can you say Big data has nothing to do with Database ? Are you really serious ? Why do they have the shared word 'data' in between them. Is it not as a result of big-data that Tech companies are shifting to Cloud computing/Storage ?

Cordova being a mobile development framework : isn't database included in the mix ? Tell me one app/website that doesn't have to do with storing data ?

Even if NoSql were influenced by Sql, at least, they are being improved and differentiated for a purpose and that is for Big data sake...

Guy widen your net. IT is changing fundamentally. In fact, it is now termed the New IT cool

First of all, lets get one thing straight. The OP is asking about Database Administration not about data analysis.

I never said BigData has nothing to do with database, but that it has "relatively nothing to do with database administration"
That 2 words share the same composition of sentences, doesn't mean they are related nor reference the same topic of discourse.

I would have loved to debug you further grin but i see no need to. I would just advise you delve into IT and research more.

Nevertheless

from wikipedia:

Big data is a blanket term for any collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications.

while

A database administrator (acronym DBA) is an IT Professional responsible for the installation, configuration, upgrading, administration, monitoring, maintenance, and security of databases in an organization.

The role includes the development and design of database strategies, system monitoring and improving database performance and capacity, and planning for future expansion requirements. They may also plan, co-ordinate and implement security measures to safeguard the database.


New IT indeed grin

New IT indeed grin

He specifically asked for New Database Languages to learn and not necessarily Database Administration per say... They are of different approach.....

Database/Lanaguages concepts are intertwined... They are being streamlined everyday. If you think New IT is a joke...

In few years time, you will still be singing same Kumbayah song shocked Why are we too mediocre in Naija/Africa huh ?

Abegi, IT changes everyday..In fact, no typical IT professional will tell you they are perfect. No body sabi pass...So stop sounding like say you be IBM pikin a.k.a Watson wink

And please, don't always rely on Wikipedia for steady knowledge, especially the role of IT that changes everyday sad

hmmmmm, this one is strong.

brother, lets not degenerate to insults.
i've been trying to place terms in order for you, though being witty, but you seem to think am trying to insult ur intelligence.

you're mixing so many things up, thereby making so many mistakes.
your come back posts do not qualify for any points.

But i'll try to help again.

The OP specifically asked this question:


What are the programming languages, a
database administrator should know?


so i do not know where you got "not necessarily database administration"

That IT is evolving doesnt mean BigData don change meaning to Database administration

You have a scratchy knowledge of IT, most people do, but that do not give you a pass to talk about what's mediocre and what's not.

You're probably a service user, just like everyone who sits on a desk, clicking links and buttons from 9 to 5.

Therefore, you're not in any way qualified to advise the OP nor tell me what and what not to lift from wikipedia #noOffense


btw, wtf is new IT grin
Re: Database Administrator: Which Languages To Learn? by spikesC(m): 3:51pm On Jul 08, 2014

You are the one that is contradicting yourself without being specific.. Your best bet was to copy and paste from Wikipedia. Why didn't you elaborate in your own words and technical knowledge.... If my info is so sketchy, why did you pick on it : why not advice him on the ones you invented cry

Look down and help yourself first... If you are so keen on IT. Why haven't you developed the next Google cheesy...

Real guys in IT lifts each other up.... Not show off for nothing angry

If you don't know what new IT is - Abeg don't show me nonsense.

Park well bros cool
