Różnica między profesjonalistą a pracownikiem

n this section I'll cover the things every professional Database Administrator should know: business matters that are outside the strictly technical realm.

What separates a professional from the average employee? An employee feels that work is useful, and normally appreciates at least the social aspects (and the paycheck) of his job. He is not usually interested in the subject of their work outside of the office or place of work, but is quite competent at their job.

The professional feels that her work is important. She spends time outside her job learning more about the craft. She tries out new ideas, and is highly motivated to promote her part of the whole.

But there's more to being a professional than extensive subject knowledge and enthusiasm. Professionals are defined by what they do, not just what they know. Professionals respect themselves and others, and are always looking for the best solution to the problem at hand, even if it's not their solution. They don't care whether they "win" or not; they only care whether the problem is solved.

In this section, we'll explore ways to develop your professional database administrator career. I use the term DBA to refer to the development, administration, and data architect roles of the job. This section has less to do then with pure technical knowledge than it does with other professional aspects of database technology.
