Programming / Re: What Kind Of DBA (Database Administrator) Are You? by VaseemDBA: 1:29pm On Jun 23, 2007
If interviewer ask, Are you a nuts-n-bolts DBA or a tools-n-props DBA ?

{I would explain myself as a combination of the two.} I, having been in the business for over 6 years, have grown up in a command line era where the GUIs never seemed to work. There was high complexity in systems and not much good documentation on how things worked. Thus, I had to learn everything about most aspects of the database environment I was working in and thus became a nuts-n-bolts DBA. I was a true command line and vi bigot. Times have changed and the GUIs are very reliable, understand the environment they are installed on, and can generally get the job done quicker for individuals new to database administration. I too am slowly slipping over to the dark side of GUI administration. {If you find yourself as a tools-n-props DBA, try to convey that you are aware of some tasks that require you to be a nuts-n-bolts DBA.}
Hope this may help.
Thanks all and take care.
