Earlier this year, we asked you what new features you'd like to see on SearchDatabase.com, and among the requests, you asked for more information focused on careers in the database industry. In response, we've created a new a series dedicated to highlighting the various types of work that you, our readers, do every day. In this series, we'll take a look at database professionals in a range of industries from companies big and small. Read along to see what cool projects some of your peers are tackling, or to confirm that you're not the only one performing thankless tasks in the middle of the night.
The first of our "Profiles in Data Management" featured Todd Barbera, a senior systems administrator and Oracle DBA for WGBH, the renowned Boston, Mass.-based public broadcasting company. One of 12 in the enterprise IT department, Barbera has a hand in just about everything, from the everyday tuning and monitoring of the databases, servers and applications to figuring out how to handle the metadata involved in the company's one-time, colossal project currently underway to digitize and store all of WGBH's programming. Read the full profile here.
If you would like to nominate someone you know, including yourself, to be featured, let us know!
Send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a few details or interesting facts.
Thanks! Sara
