# database development tools — Database Administrator

As a Database Administrator (DBA), 'database development tools' isn’t about *building* applications, but enabling those who do – and ensuring the database can support their work efficiently. Daily, this means using tools to analyze proposed schema changes (logical structure) before they hit production. Think SQL Developer/DBeaver for visually inspecting designs, or specialized data modeling software like ERwin Data Modeler or Lucidchart to understand entity relationships and potential performance bottlenecks. You'll also use these tools to generate DDL scripts – the instructions that *create* those structures in the database itself. It’s about validating designs against best practices (normalization, indexing strategies) before developers even start coding.
