Explain the difference between a database manager and a data manager?
This could be classified as either a technical or general question. In either case, your answer is the same. You define each term, and then discuss the differences between them. The purpose of the question is to get you to talk about your perception of a database manager's role. Your answer should align with the duties and responsibilities outlined in the job description to which you applied.
"The difference between a database manager and data managers is fundamental. Data management is the process of using data to manage an operation, run a business, or solve an issue. Anybody can be a data manager if they use data to make decisions. Database management, on the other hand, is managing the underlying structure of the data, which is organized and stored in a database. Database managers don't use the data they manage for decision-making, except to define data tables, create queries, or when working with other database management tools."
