Minimalistic Oracle

Minimalistic Oracle contains a collection of practical examples from my encounters with Oracle technologies. When relevant, I also write about other technologies, like Linux or PostgreSQL. Many of the posts starts with "how to" since they derive directly from my own personal experience. My goal is to provide simple examples, so that they can be easily adapted to other situations.

My career as an Oracle DBA startet in 2001, when I acceptet a request to take on the responsibility as my current employer's DBA. From that point and onwards, managing Oracle databases has kept me busy and engaged. I enjoy my work, and particulary appreciate the constant learning and devlopment that comes with the job. From 2014, I am self-employed through my company Oric Consulting AS (Norway), and from 2024 Oric Consulting AB (Sweden) I currently live in Göteborg, Sweden, with my family.
