What you are describing is Database developer, not DBA. It's not enough to know data to be a DBA.

>I wonder why so many foxers think their next step should be dot net? If I had to switch to anything, I'd be a DBA. C'mon guys, we're foxers, we know data, we know tables, we'd make great DBAs. Switching to dot net, it would take me the rest of my time before retirement to reach this level of proficiency. Doing SQL, I'd only have to brush up on some unused areas and then be able to code circles around at least half of the admins I've met.
