Chris,
To become a DBA administrator do I need to start first as SQL Developer? I do have seven year experience with Windows servers 2003/2008, DNS, DHCP, Linux, VMware, Cisco, SAN, but not SQL.
Acami,
Good question. I am going to make note of it and post a blog about it in the next few days. Will that work for you?
Thanks,
Chris
