Choose the right perspective
Match the person's database platforms and environment to yours, since running Oracle in a bank differs from running SQL Server or PostgreSQL in a cloud software business. Also decide whether you need someone who managed a DBA team or a hands-on lead administrator, and ask how they handled backups, recovery and failover in practice.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you set backup, recovery and failover targets for production databases, and how do you test them?
- 02Which database tasks do you automate first, and which ones still need a DBA's judgment?
- 03How do you split responsibilities between the DBA team and application developers for performance problems?
