I understand that there are times with critical issues and outages when DBA are to work until all is fixed, which may take up to 20 hours.

But if things are stable and settled, out of a standard 8-9-hour work day, how many hours are actually needed to finish daily routine work?

    We have a DBA but with an augmented job description. They write ad hoc reports which some will be passed to the development team to be codified with filters and export options.

    I remember DBAs with just database experience in the '90s and they were really busy especially when drive storage and RAM was very expensive.

    But today, both are cheap and databases are easier to configure and support, I suppose their job descriptions are more expanded.
