I have over fifteen years of database design, development and administration experience using oracle database (8 to 11g) and different other tools. Started as a trainee developer to work with forms and reports and that I did quite well with Developer 2000 Rel 2.1 and Oracle Developer Rel 6. In addition to that I also used to take part in the schema management and control.
