More About the Author

I'm currently a full time database administrator (that explains the geek books) and writer.
I love to write, and wanted to be a writer as long as I can remember. These books and stories are my proof to myself, to my kids, and to the world that it doesn't matter who you are or where you come from, it doesn't matter where you started out in life or what people tell you that you can or can't do... People like me (and therefore people like you) can write and should follow your dreams, no matter what they are.
I write essays, poetry, short stories and (obviously) technology books. My mom is determined that I will one day write the great american novel. I think I need to write a book about living life to the fullest with Rheumatoid Arthritis. We'll see.

This review is from: Everyday Oracle DBA (Osborne ORACLE Press Series) (Paperback)

April J. Wells had done a good job for his earlier 11i DBA book but this book is not good for any level of DBA.
