Database Programming Overview

Computer technology continues to evolve and amaze, but the systems themselves still require humans to tell them what to do. That’s the job of the Database Programmer. If you enjoy using creativity, logic and analytical skills to solve problems, then a career in Database Programming may be right for you.

Through ECPI University’s year-round schedule, you could earn a Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer and Information Science with a concentration in Database Programming in as little as 2.5 years. Here are just some of the things Database Administrators do on the job:

  • Identifying user needs to create and administer databases
  • Ensuring that the database operates efficiently and without error
  • Making and test modifications to the database structure when needed
  • Maintaining the database and update permissions
  • Merging old databases into new ones
  • Backing up and restoring data to prevent data loss

Database Programming Possible Career Track

Upon completion, graduates with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer and Information System with a concentration in Database Programming could possibly pursue career opportunities across a wide range of industries in positions such as:

  • Programmer/Software Technicians
  • Database Developers/Administrators
  • Applications Software Developers

The largest number of Database Programmers work for computer system design and related services firms, such as Internet service providers and data-processing firms. Others are employed by firms with large databases, such as insurance companies and banks, both of which keep track of vast amounts of personal and financial data for their clients. Some administer databases for retail companies that keep track of customer credit card and shipping information; others work for healthcare firms and manage patients medical records.
