Technical Support - Database Administration
Application DBA - Specialist Skills

The Application DBA needs to focus on database design and the ongoing support and administration of the database for a specific Oracle Ebusiness Suite or third party applications. DSP is a certified partner for Applications and therefore must invest in suitably trained Application DBA's.

The application DBA must also be capable of performing a range of functions including:
  • Database Change Management
  • Performance Tuning
  • Expert Application Understanding and Appreciation of Interactions
  • Traditional Production DBA skills and functions
The difference betwen and Production and Application DBA is the where the DBA applies knowledge and resources. The focus for an Application DBA is on a specific subset of applications rather than the overall database implementation and database environment.

DSP uses application DBA's to write and debugg complex SQL and our DBA's must understand the best ways to incorporate database requests into interacting with application programs.

Not every organisation employs application DBAs. As applications are typically complex and specific to an organisations requirements and business processes, both investment in time and resources can be costly. DSP provides ad-hoc support and flexible consultancy as when required to clients requiring application dba skills.

As part of the APPSdirect service organisations can draw upon expert application skills as and when required.
