You did it, you made a choice, intentional or otherwise lead to your boss saying “congratulations” you are our new DBA, or maybe you are just DBA curious. The good news, your environment is running, nothing seems to be down, but you are wondering “now what” or “what’s next”. The focus of this session is on what and why, there are defiantly plenty of pointers to resources covering the how. We will talk about your mindset, things you need to focus on like recoverability, availability, and performance while answering your “what’s next” questions and hopefully giving you several beneficial things to look at the next time you logon to the office.
