Paul Moen’s Summary
Database Specialist.
Oracle: 12 years
SQL server: 9 years
MySQL: 5 years
My goal as a DBA is to get any database I support completely recoverable, stable and efficient, even if the amount of work that database is doing is increasing rapidly.
I would prefer my weekends and after hours to myself rather than fighting database problems so I grind down any problems until they disappear.
Paul Moen’s Specialties:
Production process automation, problem resolution
