# use scripting programming — Database Administrator

For a Database Administrator (DBA), 'use scripting programming' isn’t about building full applications; it's about *automation* and *efficient management* at scale. Daily tasks like user provisioning, backup verification, performance monitoring, and data cleansing become incredibly time-consuming without scripting. Think automating the creation of 100 new database users with specific permissions instead of doing it manually through a GUI, or writing a script to identify tables exceeding storage thresholds and alert you. Common tools are shell scripting (Bash/PowerShell for system tasks), SQL*Plus or similar command-line clients for database operations, and increasingly Python – especially for more complex logic and integration with monitoring systems.
