Database administrators work with data required and captured by organizations. In general, they are responsible for storing, organizing, analyzing, utilizing, and presenting such data through database management software or other related systems. More often than not, they are also expected to set up new databases and integrate old systems into new ones.

Other tasks that fall under the database administrator job description include troubleshooting database-related problems and maintaining existing systems for optimal performance. They also plan, develop, and implement measures and protocols along with network administrators in order to ensure the security of working databases. In some cases, a database administrator may also be expected to design database structures. However, that task is often covered by more specialized database designers or analysts.
