If you need to know which features of Oracle may be useful for your specific application, Jonathan Lewis can tell you, having spent lots of time investigating how well new features work, whether they work together, and how easy it is to break them. If you need to make your system run faster, he can tell you what can be done and what is most likely to be a cost-effective approach. Jonathan has been using database software for more than twenty years, the last twenty-three of which have been spent using the Oracle RDBMS. He is an independent design and trouble-shooting consultant. Jonathan has given presentations each year to the UK Oracle User Group, both at the annual conference and at meetings of the UNIX and DBMS SIGs and is a regular presenter at the Danish Database Forum (Miracle Open World). He writes regularly for the UK user group magazine Oracle Scene and occasionally for other publications. He is the author of Practical Oracle 8i - Building Efficient Databases, and Cost Based Oracle - Fundamentals, and has made contributions to three other books. Last, but not least, he is the designer and presenter of a number of one-day and two-day tutorials designed to help you get the most out of the database engine. Jonathan has presented these courses around the world, both as public and as private events for large corporations (including Oracle University, in their “Celebrity Seminar†series) - clocking up visits to forty-nine different countries so far.
