Are you in the mood to learn more about data? Perhaps you’re a server or desktop admin, but the DBA seems to have a cool job? Do you want to get connected to the data your company uses?
Why do companies care about that data? They care because we are moving to a data-driven economy.
Good data can help companies earn more, and understand their customers better, if used properly. The skills needed to handle this data tend to start with storage and maintaining that valuable data.
To break into the field, perhaps start with some of these courses on Microsoft Virtual Academy. They will help you understand the concepts, see some of the work in action, and help you decide to go further.
To help you decide where to start: SQL Server is rated the top operational database system as rated by Gartner, a highly respected research firm.
Anything you learn in the following courses can generally be applied to other relational database systems. So let’s get you started!
