What databases do DBA jobs require?

SQL Server and Oracle dominate enterprise. PostgreSQL is growing fast. Cloud-managed databases (RDS, Cloud SQL, Azure SQL) are increasingly common. Most DBA roles require deep expertise in at least one platform.

What salary can database administrators expect?

DBA salaries range from $80k for mid-level to $160k+ for senior DBAs. Oracle and SQL Server specialists at financial institutions earn the highest.

Is DBA still a good career in the cloud era?

Yes - while managed services reduce routine maintenance, companies still need experts for performance tuning, data modeling, migration, security, and disaster recovery. The role is evolving, not disappearing.
