hey robert,

Generally a DBA can be a DBA any database. Almost all the RDMS have
concepts. Even I went to that link, the questions are good. And the most
important thing is if you are DBA you will not say this statement.

While there are many aspects of DBA work that are universal, the devil
is in the details. The concepts of backup and restore are universal,
but you had better be ready to handle the details when you have to
recover a server. Not that you have to memorize every word of the
syntax, but you had better not be surprised by what exactly is and is
not possible with the RDBMS at hand.
