I was starting in 1992 as an Oracle Support Technician at Oracle Austria. This were my first steps into the world of Oracle databases. From 1994 on I supported several customer databases (over 100) in case of emergency, together with the customers DBAs. These jobs enabled a broad knowledge about Oracle databases and also my technology skills (network, storage, …) have been strongly improved. With this background I was able to implement the first Oracle Parallel Server on IBM’s AIX in Hungary. Since 1998 my focus is Oracle database high-end-training and high-end-consulting. My certification level is OCP DBA starting with Oracle 7, OCM DBA (one of the first in Europe) and OCE Real Application Cluster, Database Performance Tuning, Maximum Availability and Data Guard - see also: https://www.youracclaim.com/user/christian-pfundtner . Starting with Dec 2010 I am running my own database consulting company: DB Masters (www.dbmasters.at)
