Bridging the Gap Between Database Administrators (DBAs) & Database Developers

Bridging the Gap

The transparent gap between Database Administrators (DBAs) and Database Developers (DBDs) has existed for years, however there has not been much discussion surrounding their relationship. Embarcadero Technologies recently held an event for customers, partners, press and analysts to debate the chasm developing between DBAs and database developers. The discussion focused on what is causing this chasm; the problems associated with it and the solution.

We hope you'll take a few minutes and listen to each of the podcasts a four part series.

 

Part 1 of 4: Communication styles between DBAs and DBDs

In this introduction we discuss the anthropology of database administration. The panel looks to gain an understanding of the relationship between Database Administrator (DBA) and Database Developer groups, how to help them develop better communication, and what are the issues surrounding these efforts.





 

Part 2 of 4: Working In a Silo

Developers tend to be work in an isolated environment. Despite working in a silo, DBAs and Developers do feel the need to exchange valuable information on a consistent basis. The panel discusses how silos adversely affect businesses and looks at potential solutions.





 

Park 3 of 4: How Does The Economy Affect Database Professionals?

Today’s credit crunch is affecting the business of the database. The panel discusses new ways of working, communicating, and collaborating between Developers and DBA. Additionally, it examines the new roles of Developers and the need for them to understand wider business objectives beyond their own roles.

 





 

Part 4 of 4: The All Access Toolkit for Database Professionals

Embarcadero All-Access provides all the application development and database tools you need-when you need them-across all major platforms, frameworks, and programming languages.
