Database Programming Overview

While developers continue to push the limits of innovation, computers do not yet think for themselves. That’s the job of a Database Programmer. These professionals play a vital role in the maintenance and security of vast amounts of information. If you enjoy using creativity, logic and analytical skills to solve problems, then a career in Database Programming may be right for you.

Here are just some of the things Database Administrators do on the job:

  • Maintain the database and update permissions
  • Identify user needs to create and administer databases
  • Ensure that the database operates efficiently and without error
  • Backup and restore data to prevent data loss
  • Make and test modifications to the database structure when needed
  • Merge old databases into new ones

Through ECPI University’s year-round program, you could earn an Associate of Science Degree in Computer and Information Science with a concentration in Database Programming (Associate of Applied Science in Computer & Information Science – South Carolina only) in as little as 1.5 years.
