In this post, I will answer questions posted by a reader from *Charlotte,
North Carolina* on the *suitability or advisability* of a "Database Design
& SQL Query Writing" career versus a "Web / Software Developer" career.
However, instead of the typical *yes / no, black vs. white* answer, I will
give you some criteria for evaluating the suitability of "*The Database
Developer / SQL Query Writer Career*" To "*The Computer Programmer / Web
Developer Career*".
Here Is The Reader's Question:
Hello, i am new to the IT industry and I want some help please.
I recently just taught myself xhtml/css and i am stuck in the road.
I am not sure if i should learn another web development language or just
change over to a database language.
I am unemployed and want to learn something that will allow me to get an
entry level job.
I don't want to have to learn a new language every year, i want something i
can learn and keep improving my hands on skills on.
Can you help.....
Here Is The Answer To This Reader's Question
1. Learning Curve of Database Development vs. Computer Programming
In terms of the Learning Curve, it takes a lot longer to learn computer
programming than it takes to become a database developer or SQL Query
Writer.
If you want to become a computer programmer, you have to learn a suite
of programming languages and software development technologies (CSharp, or
Visual Basic .NET), HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ASP.NET and believe or not a
database management system (SQL Server or MySQL or Oracle).
If you want to become a database developer / SQL Query Writer, you only
have to learn one database management system (RDBMS) and SQL Query Writing
Language very well (Oracle & PL/SQL or MySQL or SQL Server & TSQL).
*On average, it will take you at least six (6) months to become a
computer programmer and three (3) months to become a Database Developer.*
2. Salary, Wages & Compensation for Database Development vs. Software
Development
If you become a Microsoft .NET Software Developer, specializing in
CSharp (C#) and ASP.NET, here in the US, you could see yourself earning
as much as six figures ($100,000+) within 3 years of starting your career
or $80,000 within the first two (2) years.
As a SQL Server, database developer, or SQL Server Query Writer, your
salary / compensation will be about twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) lower
than that of a Microsoft .NET developer with the same number of years
(experience) in the field!
Now, there are exceptions to that rule. Some database developers / SQL
Query Writers with exceptional negotiation skills & technical talent may
seem themselves earning in the range of $80,000K to $100,000, but this will
be more of an exception than the norm.
On the other hand, earning between $80,000 and $100,000+ is normal and
not exceptional!
3. Life Style, Responsibilities & Work Demands for Computer Programmers
vs. SQL Query Writers
In the Information Technology (IT) Industry, Computer Programmers are
paid very well relative to the other professions they earn it through a
pressured, driven, intense work style.
Software Developers are always learning new technologies because new
tools can make their skills obsolete or threaten their livelihood.
Besides that, it is their normal day to day responsibility to develop
fully functional software systems obsolete.
In comparison, database developers / SQL Query Writers have a more
sedate lifestyle. They do not have to obsess about technology as much and
relational database management systems like SQL Server, Oracle or MySQL
have evolved slowly over the years.
Database Development skills do not become obsolete as easily or as
quickly as computer programming languages. Database Developers do not have
to keep learning or mastering new technologies and they also have a fewer
set of tools to work with, learn or master.
*To summarize, the Database Developers or SQL Query Writers career is a
less stressful, less demanding, less pressured profession than the Software
Developers career!*
4. Portability / Transferability of Database Developer vs. Software
Developer Skills & Careers
There are just a handful of *Relational Database Management Systems
(RDBMS) including Oracle, SQL Server and MySQL* while there are lots
more software development programming languages some of which are (C#,
Java, Visual Basic, Cobol, Perl, Python, Ruby on Rails, C/C++, PHP etc.)
Because the software development programming industry is so fragmented
and programming languages so varied, you have to specialize as a Software
Developer and your programming skills cannot be that easily or quickly
transferred to a job requiring a different set of programming skills.
For example, Microsoft .NET Software Developers cannot easily apply
their skills to a Java or C/C++ job and vice versa.
On the other hand, Relational Database Systems follow Standard SQL to
some degree and their usage is similar. The logical principles of designing
a relational; database, applies to every relational database (SQL Server,
Oracle, MySQL), etc.
So, a SQL Server Database Developer can easily and quickly learn MySQL,
write MySQL SQL Statements or design MySQL databases without expensive
re-training or re-learning!
That is the reason why Database Developers and SQL Query Writers can
easily port or transfer their skills across industries, jobs or careers.
5. Market Demand & Job Opportunities for Software Developers vs.
Database Developers
There is a high demand for computer programmers who specialize in
Microsoft .NET Software Development (ASP.NET, CSharp / C#, Visual Basic
.NET (VB.NET), .NET Framework) because the Information Technology,
marketing & Sales and Operations departments of lots of companies use these
technologies to automate their systems.
However, employers that invest in Microsoft .NET Technologies, also
depend on or require Microsoft's Database Technology (SQL Server) instead
of Oracle or MySQL for their data storage needs as Microsoft's SQL Server
database integrates and inter-operates well with Microsoft .NET Programming
technologies.
These factors combined with the ubiquitous use of websites, web
applications and desktop applications as part of everyday business
infrastructure create a high demand for professionals with Microsoft .NET
Software Development skills and / or SQL Server Database Development skills!
