Database software

Software & technology · O*NET

Database software is a software tool tracked in the Data base user interface and query software category of O*NET's Technology Skills file. It appears in the technology profile of 166 occupations that together employ about 59,084,170 workers, with a median wage of $64,555.

Across the occupations that use it, the work is 66th percentile for AI task-exposure (Moderate) — how much of what those jobs do overlaps with what today's AI can attempt. That measures the exposure of the work, not the value of the tool or any sign it is being replaced. See where every tool category sits →
