Re: How to become a DBA on MySQL

[Rob Wultsch]

I very much disagree with the suggestion that any sort of training is
needed or useful.

The fastest way (IMHO) to gain the knowledge to become a solid MySQL
DBA is to answer questions on #mysql and to read planet mysql.

There are very few people than understand MySQL well. After 6 months
of trying to help people on #mysql most people will have enough
knowledge that I would suggest hiring them as either junior or full
DBA. In addition it is easy to make contacts that can become
employment opportunities.
