Guys,
What's the difference between a SQL Dev and a DBA. I've seen description online that pretty much match both categories.
I've been doing data analysis for a while pretty involved in creating view and cubes for web analitics and stuff but I really wan to step forward to a SQL Dev or something more interesting

There is a difference but it depends on the size of the company. A DBA maintaines the system making sure the system continue to work, check logs, make sure jobs are run, setup privilegs, etc.

For Developers the line is not that clear, because you are expected to know another language e.g. C#, VB(if it is Ms. SQL) this also help to make you more marketable.
