Listen "Episode 33: From Developer To DBA"

Episode Synopsis

Many developers will make the transition to the DBA role and in this episode I chat with Amy Herold about making that very move.  Amy started as a C#/.NET developer and moved into the database world as an “accidental” DBA.
Amy shares her tips and stories from the trenches, including:

The move from row-based thinking to set-based thinking
How to manage developer access in production
The database performance activities new DBAs need to master
The importance of getting code reviews outside the developer team
The tool Amy relies on as a DBA, and the one event you shouldn’t miss
Why Amy believes that moving around frequently can be good for your career
