Database administration refers to the entire activities performed by a database administrator to ensure that a database is made readily available when needed. It entails the function of maintaining and managing the database management systems. The role of database administration is usually dedicated to the IT department for a big firm, while small firms that cannot afford the cost of setting up a full-time database administration department engage the services of IT firms to handle their database administration. The primary importance of database administration is to ensure that there is sufficient up time for the database, so that the database can always be made available especially when needed. Ensuring the database is made available when needed, will involve taking proactive periods of monitoring and troubleshooting.
