My name is Andy Rivenes and I’m an Oracle DBA living in the San Francisco Bay Area. I’ve been an Oracle DBA since 1992 and I have supported Oracle databases since release 6.0.36 and Oracle Applications systems since Release 8. Before that I was an IBM systems programmer supporting MVS and VM systems. I’m active in both the OAUG and the IOUG and I maintain the AppsDBA.com web site.
