Preamble

I’ve been considering starting a blog of my own for quite some time, but I must admit to some hesitancy, primarily due to the quality of technical content already posted online. Finally, I’ve decided to take the plunge, and to focus on the quality I truly bring to my own customers. Yes, I possess a very solid technical acumen around Oracle and MySQL environments. But, it isn’t technical knowledge alone that can really bring a company to that desired nirvana of availability, performance and scalability, not to mention doing so on a reasonable budget.

So, I’ve decided to focus on the strategy of database design and growth as the theme of my blogging. There will also be some tactical posts, particularly in regards to tools, scenarios and solutions that I’ve come across. My goal with this? To create something that my customers and other web-businesses can use to encourage their creative juices and to be more proactive with their own database infrastructures.
