I've seen so many people spend weeks if not months "working" to avoid doing a trivial database migration. Database fear is overwhelmingly powerful in a lot of people it seems.

Database are still fairly poorly documented when it comes to administrative work.

There is an incredible amount of tutorial, books and courses on how to write sql queries and stuff... But there is almost zero content on how to properly administer a database.

I mean, from novice admin to DBA-level capabilities.

I said all this before and i'm ready to write this again: i think there's a good market space for dba-style courses.

This does not honestly seem true for the main sql databases. For everything else, yes, but if people were actually learning databases instead of hiding from them most of the uptake there wouldn’t exist anyway.
