Saurabh K. Gupta got introduced to Oracle database around 5 years ago. Since then, he has been synchronizing his on job and off job interests with Oracle database programming. As an Oracle 11g Certified Advanced PL/SQL Professional, he soon moved from programming to database designing, development, and day-to-day database administration activities. He has been an active Oracle blogger and OTN forum member. He has authored and published more than 70 online articles and papers. His work can be seen in RMOUG journal, PSOUG, dbanotes, Exforsys, and Club Oracle. He shares his technical experience through his blog: http://sbhoracle.wordpress.com/. He is a member of All India Oracle Users Group (AIOUG) and loves to participate in technical meets and conferences.
Besides digging into Oracle, sketching and snooker are other pastimes for him. He can be reached through his blog SbhOracle
for any comments, suggestions, or feedback regarding this book.
