Very interesting poll, and as @Datachick said, it's a touch choice. But if "there can be only one", then I feel smugly vindicated in choosing Backup/Recovery, without which the business would not survive, and I would not get paid, which, in the end, is the reason for doing *any* kind of work! ;-)
Yes, securing the database should have been a choice for this poll... sorry I did not include it.

Interesting that securing data isn't an option since that is such a primary task of data administration.
This is a tough choice, especially given that these aren't mutually exclusive in real life.
