# manage database — Database Administrator

For a Database Administrator (DBA), 'manage database' isn’t just *knowing* SQL; it’s about the entire lifecycle of data storage and retrieval. Daily tasks revolve around ensuring databases are available, performant, secure, and recoverable. This means proactively monitoring system resources (CPU, memory, disk I/O) using tools like Prometheus + Grafana, SolarWinds DPA, or native DBMS performance dashboards. You’ll spend time tuning queries – identifying slow-running ones with execution plans and rewriting them for efficiency.  A big chunk is also about backups & recovery; regularly testing restores to verify data integrity isn't optional, it's critical.
