What does a freelance SQL Server DBA do?

As a freelance SQL server database administrator (freelance SQL DBA), your duties are to provide database services to a company or organization on a contract or freelance basis. You work on databases that use Structured Query Language, or SQL. As an independent database administrator, you analyze a client’s needs, configure the database, and create or install applications and software for data acquisition and database queries. You test new code and systems to ensure functionality, and your responsibilities may include training staff to access data via applications.
