What new trends and technologies have driven the need for changes in the data administration and database administration roles?

What will be an ideal response?

There have been several recent trends and changes in technology which have prompted changed roles for data administrators and database administrators. Since there are many proprietary and open-source databases available, all of this must be managed concurrently in many organizations. Also, database size has increased rapidly over the years. In addition, many databases now embed business as triggers within the database. Finally, there has been an explosion of e-business applications that are accessible from outside the organization, leaving databases more vulnerable to outside attacks.
