A database administrator is required to maintain the production and test environments of an application development project. The tools used to manage the production environment are used to sort issues related with database performance, administration and database recovery.


The DBA can tune and improve the performance of a database by using such tools. The performance-monitoring tool helps a DBA gauge the efficiency and responsiveness of SQL queries, system parameters and database structures. Such performance monitoring tools run in the background and maintain a log of the database performance statistics and alert the DBA on occurrence of any problem. Some advanced tools can also take proactive steps to counter the problem so that database performance is not hindered at all.

The performance enhancement tools should monitor three aspects of a database application, which are database structure, the system itself and the application. These tools help manage the system resources perform optimally, while allowing you to analyze and optimize queries and run applications at top speed.


On a day-to-day basis a DBA requires some administration tools that help him in simplifying the tasks ranging from database object creation to database synchronization. In the absence of such administrative tools, the DBA would be required to write complex scripts for such intricate tasks that would consume time and would sometimes be error-prone too. Such administrative tools help DBA by automating some of the complex tasks and also help him in saving time.


Most of the DBMS applications provide basic backup and recovery features. However, these can't satiate the requirements of a DBA. He needs tools that can automate processes of backup and recovery and can also implement procedures for disaster recovery. The recovery tools help the DBA in such tasks. Some advanced recovery tools are also available that examine the database logs and then perform online SQL-based recoveries of the crashed or corrupted databases.


Adoption of such tools by DBAs that have automation capabilities, results in great improvement of the data availability and integrity, and hence improved performance of the database.
