2. **Database Design and Development**:

- Design and create databases and schemas.

- Create and manage database objects such as tables, indexes, views, and sequences.

- Implement data integrity and normalization.

 

3. **User Management and Security**:

- Create and manage database users and roles.

- Define and enforce database security policies.

- Manage access controls using GRANT and REVOKE statements.

- Implement SSL/TLS for secure connections.

 

4. **Backup and Recovery**:
