The tasks that a DBA does when administering a database are similar, no matter what product you're dealing with. The differences lie in how you give the commands, and in what level of details you have to manage the database environment.
Fueling the Real-Time Enterprise
The ever-increasing need to respond instantly to changes in customer demand or competitive conditions requires enterprise applications that can fulfill complex supply chain and operational requirements. These applications, in turn, demand advanced database capabilities. Providing these databases with the performance and memory capacity they need to access large amounts of data rapidly is an imperative most effectively met by 64-bit computing solutions. With 64-bit-only processing technology, that would be a harsh change demanded of enterprises with substantial investments in 32-bit applications and infrastructure.
