Have experience reading and drawing entity relationship (ER) diagrams. Understand Transact-SQL syntax and programming logic. Be able to design a database to 3NF and know the trade offs when backing out of the fully normalized design (denormalization) and designing for performance and business requirements in addition to being familiar with design models, such as Star and Snowflake schemas. Have basic monitoring and troubleshooting skills. Have basic knowledge of the operating system and platform. That is, how the operating system integrates with the database, what the platform or operating system can do, and how interaction between the operating system and the database works.
