Before it can be installed, the Siebel Data Warehouse database must be created manually by a database administrator.

Although job titles and duties at your company may differ from those listed in the following table, the audience for this guide consists primarily of employees in these categories:


Database Administrators	Administrators who administer the database system, including data loading, system monitoring, backup and recovery, space allocation and sizing, and user account management.
Siebel Application Administrators	Administrators who plan, set up, and maintain Siebel applications.
Siebel Application Developers	Developers who plan, implement, and configure Siebel applications, possibly adding new functionality.
