Interview Questions

A DBA is a Database Administrator, and this is the most common job that you find a database specialist doing. There are Development DBAs and Production DBAs.

- A Development DBA usually works closely with a team of developers and gets more involved in design decisions, giving advice on performance and writing good SQL.

  That can be satisfying at a human level because you are part of a team and you share the satisfaction of the teams accomplishments.

- A Production DBA (on the other hand) is responsible for maintaining Databases within an organization, so it is a very difficult and demanding job. He or she, often gets involved when all the design decisions have been made, and has simply to keep things up and running.

  Therefore, of course, it is also a rewarding job, both financially and in terms of job satisfaction. But it is a more "lonely" job than being a Development DBA.

when a business sells its AR (accounts receivable) to a factoring company and receives short-term business funding in return, this is what called as Accounts Receivable Financing.

How it works ::

Business-to-business sales are often offered with payment terms of 30, 60 or 90 days.

The buyer receives the product, but doesn't submit payment until the mutually agreed-upon date.

The seller records the sale as revenues and increases the accounts receivable by the amount of the sale.

When the payment arrives, the seller decreases the accounts receivable and increases cash.

Accounts receivable financing allows the seller to get the cash immediately by selling the receivable to a third party. This is called factoring.
