About ba6.us

I am a Software Developer and Oracle DBA by trade, but have worked with many RDBMS systems ranging from small DBaseIV / FoxPro PC databases, medium sized MySQL databases, and large Sybase, Oracle, and MS SQL Server databases.

Feel free to hook up to the RSS feed for updates to the site as content is added.

I also try to stay active in the dba/development community as a whole. My favorite resources are:
