Tim Hall’s Summary
I’m an Oracle Certified Professional DBA (7, 8, 8i, 9i, 10g) , 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 graduating from university in 1994 with a PhD in Molecular Genetics.
