The role may include capacity planning, installation, configuration, database design, migration, performance monitoring, security, troubleshooting, as well as backup and data recovery.
I think there's a little more to it than being able to write queries, which'd make you a DBU (user) more than a DBA, I'd say. (No DBU is not a real word)
I know SQL, but I try to avoid doing most of the above stuff (not always successfully).
Thanks! 😃😅 I probably should've checked Wikipedia, I tend to go to dev communities with questions like this. I've been seeing job openings for DBAs and felt a bit confused because I know SQL. I saw a course on DBA so I think I'd just be taking that.
