PL/SQL Developer vs Database Administrator (DBA) - Key Differences

When it comes to Oracle database management, there are distinct roles and responsibilities between a PL/SQL Developer and a Database Administrator(DBA).

• PL/SQL Developer: Focuses on developing and writing PL/SQL code to create stored procedures, functions, and triggers within the database. They are responsible for optimizing code performance and ensuring data integrity.
• Database Administrator (DBA): Manages the overall health and performance of the database system. They handle tasks like backup and recovery, security management, database tuning, and capacity planning.

While a PL/SQL Developer primarily works on writing and optimizing code to interact with the database, a Database Administrator (DBA) takes care of the overall maintenance and performance of the database system.
