Database administration is the ongoing work of managing, securing, and maintaining database systems to ensure they run reliably and efficiently. Database administrators (DBAs) handle tasks such as performance tuning, backup and recovery, user access control, and applying software updates for systems like MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SQL Server. It is a critical IT function that keeps an organization's data available, accurate, and protected from loss or unauthorized access.
