Nandyan ata lahat ng discussion about ACS. As for the occupation list, you can check this.
https://www.acs.org.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0018/7641/ANZSCO-Descriptions-2015.pdf
For the step by step visa processing:
http://pinoyau.info/discussion/101/general-skilled-immigration-visa-step-by-step-process
I think you can be considered as Database Administrator (262111), which is under Consolidated Sponsored Occupations List or CSOL? Occupations that are under CSOL require state sponsorship (visa subclass 190).
Ano pala mostly ginagawa mo as Database Developer?
