administrator installs and configures database software
for the development environment; creates the various databases
required during the development life-cycle (for example, the data
dictionary, unit testing, system testing, training); and maintains
database access controls. Additionally, this project role provides
consultation on performance; monitors growth and fragmentation of the
development database; and provides database backup and recovery.


The system administrator is responsible for administering a
development system. This project role?s responsibilities include
ensuring hardware is correctly configured; installing, configuring, and
maintaining operating and development software; and ensuring daily
backups of the system are performed. The system administrator
designs and maintains the system?s security; for example, establishing
system accounts.
The system administrator provides first-line support for development
system problems and makes sure faults are quickly rectified. This
project role may perform the set-up and initial maintenance of a
production system or advise the client?s operational staff on these tasks.
The system administrator works with the project team to optimize
system performance.


APPS DBA is mixture of above two
