I'm an Oracle Certified Professional DBA (7, 8, 8i, 9i, 10g, 11g), Oracle ACE Director and was chosen as Oracle ACE of the Year 2006 by Oracle Magazine Editors Choice Awards. I have been involved in DBA, design and development work with Oracle databases since 1994.

I have gained a wide knowledge of the Oracle software stack and have worked as a consultant for several multi-national companies on projects ranging from real-time control systems to OLTP web applications. Since 2000 I have published over 350 articles on my website (www.oracle-base.com) covering a wide range of Oracle features.
