System Administrator Versus Database Administrator

A database management system can be seen as having two sides to it?a front end that the user sees and works with and a back end where the actual work or data manipulation is performed. This natural division between user applications and their underlying data structures lends itself to two job categories?database administrator and system administrator.

An Oracle Applications system administrator manages the user interface or applications side of the database management system. An Oracle database administrator (DBA) manages the data that the various applications enter, update, and use for company business.
