Featured review
Instructor
I am so thrilled you landed on my course!
I always wondered what does it take to be an exceptional DBA. Is it knowledge, skill, certifications, attitude? Maybe all of them.
I created DBAParadise in 2016, with the intention of helping DBAs around the world to grow in their career, by providing useful blog posts, step by step guides and blueprints to the Oracle community.
My goal is to inspire DBAs to become exceptional in their careers and always reach higher.
My expertise comes from the 15+ years of experience as an Oracle DBA Consultant. I have seen and fixed many performance problems in Oracle databases. From my observations, what all of the performance problems have in common, is the repeatable methodology I use to troubleshoot them.
That is how my first course The Ultimate SQL Tuning Formula was born.
My love of teaching started in 2006, as an Oracle instructor, at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology in Canada, where I taught Oracle classes in the everning.
Last year my readers nominated me for the Oracle Ace program, and I became an Oracle Ace Associate.
This is the best time to sharpen your skills, and become the best DBA you can be!
