    how to get into..?

    I am sure lot of people like me have this question...
    How to become a DB2 DBA?

    Almost all employers needs experienced DBAs, and to get REAL DBA
    experience, one has to work as a DBA. DBAs in this forum - could you
    guys share how you got into DBA work..?

    A SQL developer can learn coding from books and start working easily.
    But, for someone to read a book and to become DBA is going to tough(I
    am sure he/she wouldn't even be able to clear the interview)...an d
    things like DPF are even complicated...s o, if you share how one can
    become a DBA, it will help me lot...because, I wanna be a DB2 UDB
    (LUW) DBA and doing all those hifi DPF stuffs!!

    thanks for sharing!

          Thanks Mark!
          I am a SQL Developer (some times I do Application DBA work like Create
          & Alter database objects). I want to become a System DBA. Could you
          please guide me What I should do to become a System DBA.

          Thanks again.
          Download a free copy of DB2 Express-C for Linux and put it on a Linux box at
          home and start learning DB2 database administration. Just about any old PC
          will run a free copy of Linux from Red Hat or SUSE that is suitable.

          You will have to learn a little about Linux and networking to set this up to
          your Windows PC running a Putty ssh session (or DB2 Control Center), but
          these are also skills you will need. I would do as much as you can with
          Putty Command Line instead of using a GUI interface. This means you will
          need some basic vi (Linux/UNIX editor) skills.

              Install at home a free copy of the database. Read administration and
              tunning guides. Look at white papers and others materials on the web.
              Invent yourself an experience as DBA but you better be very good
              depending on which people you will meet on interview. Most people
              working in computer science field have nothing to do with this
              science. If you are wise smart and skilled you have an opportunity to
              become anyone you want.
