hello!
I just wanted to ask if anybody here could point me on how to start on being a database developer?
I've been a programmer/analyst for about 9 months now but only had the chance to deal/use databases a few months ago. DB2 in particular. I do simple queries and updates on the db, but most of the time, we have to call or page the DBA to make major changes in them.
I don't really want to become a DBA as I've read in most forums that it tends to become a bore as time goes on. Actually, I already see them to be like that. I came across the term database developer on the net and got curious. I pretty much have an idea of what they do. I was a software engineer for 2 years, but the projects didn't involve DBs.
I've wanted to shift from PL-based programming so I wanted to check out how I could shift to database development.
Any info you can share is very much appreciated. Thanks!
