| Jan 4, 2012 at 21:50 | comment | added | Chris S | Considering Database Administrators's size, and that I consider DBA a subset of SA, I don't really mind if their FAQ claims that they overlap a bit with us. But yeah, we're mostly in agreement that the installation and backup stuff belongs on Server Fault; though they're unlikely to migrate such Questions to us. | |
| Jan 4, 2012 at 21:22 | comment | added | the-wabbit | As this is the highest voted answer: who is going to tell the DBA folks to change their FAQ as there are clearly conflicting points? I do not think it makes any sense to leave clearly definable areas like "installation" or "backup & recovery" on topic in both sites. | |

Data storage conventions and retrieval architecture belong on DBA.SE. API interactions belong on SO. | |
| Oct 16, 2011 at 19:06 | comment | added | gbn | Do we want the NoSQL and BI crowd there too? BI especially overlaps. meta.dba.stackexchange.com/questions/270/… and meta.dba.stackexchange.com/q/320/630 | |
| Aug 4, 2011 at 3:47 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | well it's self-selected, so it'll always be a little loose -- but I'd say if you rate yourself as "skilled intermediate" and still need help, probably best on DBA. | |
| Aug 4, 2011 at 3:18 | comment | added | Chris S | @Jeff, sounds good to me. Any thoughs as to how you might define "advanced"? (Honest question from someone with "Basic T-SQL Reference" pinned to his cube wall) | |
| Aug 3, 2011 at 22:19 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | as for paragraph 3, my guidance has been "advanced" stuff in that category belongs on dba | |
