Hi Siddh2977,
Thanks for your feedback and suggestion. I shall definitely update more questions (technical) that are asked in SQL Server Developer Interviews in the next few days..
@Siddh2977,
As you have mentioned, that you have not worked on SQL Server before, to gain experience on SQL Server, I would recommend you to start a demo project on your own. Take an example organization (that your friends work at) and think in terms of a Sales project that company might do. Start building a demo database and populate with tables and data (that you can imagine) and it will lead you up for a good demo database that you can start working on….
Hi Bru Medishetty,
I am Bhavani. I have learnt SQL DBA course recently. Is it possible for a fresher to do a job as an experienced candidate does in an organization ? can a fresher be able to do all the work as a 3+ experienced candidate does ? Please reply me soon.
Hi Bhavani,
I think this is very simple to answer. The answer is no, how can a fresher perform the same job as a 3+ year experienced DBA? There are a lot of things that are learnt by a DBA through experience than just by studying the subject….
However there are certain tasks/duties that a fresher can perform as a 3 + year experienced DBA, tasks such as Creating simple to decent sized databases, troubleshooting some SQL Server errors, create and maintain users and permissions etc etc…
I hope this helps…
Thank u Bru and i wanna ask you one more question..
I am very interested to do a job on SQL DBA as a fresher but most of the companies are not preferring SQL DBA fresher candidates. How can a candidate get experience when no one gives an opportunity ?? Please tell me the way to get a job on SQL DBA as a fresher. I will be waiting for your valuable suggestion..Please reply me soon..
Hi,
I understand the point you are making. I would suggest choosing a job (like a systems engineer, network engineer) that has SQL DBA responsibilities in addition to the main responsibilities and then gradually master the concepts of being a skilled DBA and move to be a full time DBA..
OR
wait for an opportunity to start as a Junior DBA and go up the levels…
. How to view the error log for any specific instance?
Hi Bru,
i am pratap and am fresher .I got work on SQL SERVER ,but I dont know what is my future .Where to I go,what are the positions are there in data base.I am in confusion mode .Pls help me
Hi Pratap, I am not sure what is your concern (regarding future).. What is the position you are working? What is the duration you would currently in the same job/position, if it is a short term, then keep working on your skills and looking for positions..
If you have further questions, email me to LearnSQLWithBru@gmail.com..
Thanks,
