Founded in 1936 with a single tractor-trailer, Huffman Trucking (Huffman), a national transportation company, is located in Cleveland OH. Today, Huffman has over 1,400 employees, 800 tractors, expected revenue to surpass $600,000,000 and is still privately held. Huffman has hubs located in Los Angeles, CA, St. Louis, MO, Bayonne, NJ with the central maintenance facility located in Cleveland OH.

While Huffman Trucking has stayed on the leading edge of technology in most departments, one area still lacks in automation. Huffman has continually overlooked the automation of the fleet maintenance records and put this project on the bottom of the priority list for far too long. Now that most of Huffman’s trucks are between 10 and 18 years-old, mechanical breakdowns are occurring more frequently. Maintenance costs have soared recently and based on the lack of information available, lost paperwork and receipts, and misfiled maintenance documentation, senior management has finally made the decision to take action. “Pen and paper” record keeping is no longer making the grade here at Huffman Trucking.

The form is completed and then transmitted to the same maintenance database. When the inspector has identified all of the problems with a particular region, voice navigation is used to continue to other areas of the aircraft. The inspector is not required to take any information about the aircraft, previous defect records, clipboards, paper, etc. with them, everything required to perform the inspection is on-line and displayed in a manageable fashion in real time during the inspection.

DBA deals with all of this by finding user needs, set the database, and test the system. DBA should enable editing any system he or she created. At the same time DBA should ensure the security of the data and guarantee data integrity and backup. Moreover, DBAs should know the database management systems (DBMS) that include the knowledge of Oracle, IBM DB2, and Microsoft SQL server (“Database Administrator,” 2010). Oracle is one of the most important platforms that DBA must know and have experience with. According to Kanaracus “The database experience we look for most of the time is Oracle”, says Tom Hart, executive vice president of the operations and technology group at Veritude. “SQL Server is more of a nice-to-have"
