Skill levels

What Database Management looks like at each level

Pick the level you can show today, from what you can do on your own.

  1. Level 1

    Foundational

    Routine tasks, with guidance when things change.

    You can do familiar tasks and you understand the basic ideas. When a task varies or gets difficult you ask for help.

  2. Level 2

    Intermediate

    Common tasks on your own, help only for the hard ones.

    You handle everyday work independently and cope with moderate variation. You need support only occasionally, in difficult situations.

  3. Level 3

    Advanced

    Complex or unfamiliar situations, with little guidance.

    You use judgement in new situations, fix problems at their cause, improve how the work is done and help others do it well.

These are the general levels used for every skill. Examples specific to Database Management have not been written yet.

If you are looking for work

For candidates

Name the database systems (SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Access) and what you did: design, queries, backups, performance tuning. A small project or query sample you can share helps.

If you are hiring

For employers

Name the database and the main tasks. A short SQL exercise is a fair, quick test.

How matching works
