Introduction to Database & Database Administrator roles

Database:
A database is an organized collection of data, generally stored and accessed electronically from a computer system. 
Where databases are more complex they are often developed using formal design and modeling techniques.

The database management system (DBMS) is the software that interacts with end users, applications, 
and the database itself to capture and analyze the data. The DBMS software additionally encompasses 
the core facilities provided to administer the database. The sum total of the database, the DBMS and 
the associated applications can be referred to as a "database system". Often the term "database" 
is also used to loosely refer to any of the DBMS, the database system or an application associated with the database.

Database Admin:

 A database administrator (DBA) is a specialized computer systems administrator who maintains a successful database environment
by directing or performing all related activities to keep the data secure. The top responsibility of a DBA professional is to maintain data integrity.
This means the DBA will ensure that data is secure from unauthorized access but is available to users.

A database administrator will often have a working knowledge and experience with a wide range of database management products such as MySQL,MongoDB,PpostgreSQl and SQL Server.

MySQL thread error code of 1032- Translate binlog completely to avoid error

Could not execute Update_rows event on table db.table; Can't find record in 'table', Error_code: 1032; handler error HA_ERR_KEY_NOT_FOUND; the event's   master log mysql-bin.262297, end_log_pos 1983208 As of my knowledge the causing stop of slave SQL thread error code of 1032, due to lack of sync between Master - Slave. In our case, slave got an Update event form master, but that particular record was not available in the slave. (Of course, that was deleted on Master n Slave separately) You would get this error only if the binlog_format is set to ROW_BASED or MIXED mode. So, now check that particular binlog at that position where replication stopped with this error. When you convert the binlog with mysqlbinlog command, you may see some junk characters   where you were expecting some DMLs which caused the error(In our case its an Update statement). So you can use below command to translate binlog completely: mysqlbinlog --base64-output=DECO...
