Database Developers, also known as Data Modellers, or Database Analysts,
design and test database management systems that support institutional business applications and are
accessed by multiple departments.
The role incorporates aspects of both software development and systems
analysis
Duties and responsibilities may include:
- Review, develop and design data models in conjunction with application
development teams and systems analysts
- Create logical data models and translate them into physical database
structures that integrate with existing or proposed database structures
- Monitor relational databases to optimize database performance and
resource use
- Address database integration issues including migration between disparate
databases, integration, maintenance/conversion, capacity planning issues and new applications
- Maintain "development", "test" and "production" RDBMS
environments
- Provide advice to software developers in the effective use of
database languages; advising on troubleshooting, exception processing needs, and other data management
issues
- Evaluate and recommend testing and evaluation of new procedures,
software, and hardware
In our software development course we focus on the design and
implementation of databases rather than the support functions related to database work.
