    Hi Jugal,
    I have two years experience in T-SQL. I would like to develop my skills in it, and also choose DBA as profession. Could you suggest what I should be doing. In my current role, I do analysis using T-SQL. But I want to be more of SQL person than an analyst.
    Many thanks,
    D
    1. Jugal Shah Post authorOctober 10, 2012 at 3:09 pm

       You can check DBA roles and responsibilities page of my blog and try to get the expertise on those areas. T-SQL Performance Tuning will be the good start for you.

    Hi Jugal Shah my name is Srinivas and pls tell me what are the main roles for SQL DBA L1,L2&L3 levels I’m trying on SQL DBA. Could you please send me the answer to my mail id dsbabu.sqldba@gmail.com
    1. Jugal Shah Post authorMay 26, 2013 at 1:25 pm

       L1 is entry level DBA, where they will get the basic DBA work and will follow certain knowledge articles to troubleshoot it.
       L2 is second level experience DBA and it will hand most of DBA responsibilities
       L3 is third level escalation where issues which are not resolved by L1 or L2 will be assigned to L3

    i am planing to learn sql server dba . please help me on this how to practice and is it really required to learn tsql?

    IS there any Tsql coding boundaries for a DBA.

    bcoz coding is difficult is for me.

    is there any alternate for this.
    1. Jugal Shah Post authorSeptember 16, 2015 at 5:24 pm

       As a DBA you won’t get much coding to do but you should be able to tune it or suggest optimization techniques as per the execution plan
