Databases and SQL are my thing!
I particularly love the oracle technology stack and spend a lot of my free time poking around the internet learning new tools, technologies and features of the oracle database as well as ways to improve the performance of and write better SQL. I am most happy sitting in front of a keyboard and monitor, keys clacking are my favorite sound and well I just love learning new things about Database technology.
Databases and SQL are well and truly my passion.

Backup and Recovery
Like an Airplane, The modern database can almost run it's own. However, like a pilot you need someone who's calm and collected when all the red lights are flashing. Here I break down database backup and share tons of rrecovery scenarios. Your backup is only as good as your anility to recover from it
SQL and PL/SQL
I Love Structured Query Language and It's programmatic extension PL/SQL. On this page I will share all manner of tricks you could use to tackle complex problems and possibly help you out in your environment
Linux
My Favorite Opearting system. I started using linux back in 2016 and I only knew commands "cd" and "exit". Over the years I have gained a more firm understanding and mastery of this O/S and am a qualified system/linux administrator.
