Author Biography
Fawzi A. Alswaimil purchased and started using Oracle (Version 6) for a DOS-based operating system in 1988 during his undergraduate studies at the University of Arizona. During his studies, he adapted Liner Programming techniques using Oracle PRO*C to develop a "Rivers Flood Simulator" for his senior project. He graduated in May, 1989 with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Mathematics. His first job was as an Oracle DBA (1989-1994) with Oracle 7.3, he earned the Oracle Master in 1993. He worked with Oracle CASE tool (Oracle Designer) extensively and published an Oracle Designer White Paper titled "Database Reverse Engineering Using Oracle Designer." Since the release of Oracle 8, he has been working extensively with Oracle Database options and features for high-availability and scalability, including Advanced Replication, Streams, the Recovery Manager (RMAN), Real Applications Cluster (RAC), and Data Guard (DG). Soon after the acquisition of GoldenGate Inc. by Oracle Corporation in 2009, he dedicated his focus on Oracle GoldenGate. He developed an "Oracle GoldenGate Implementer's Workshop", Oracle GoldenGate software at major Oracle customer sites, utilities for Oracle GoldenGate, and delivered the official Oracle University GoldenGate curriculums to end users. From 1995-2015, he has been teaching the vast majority of Oracle Technologies courses at Oracle University. On the other side of his professional career as an Oracle Database administrator, he is an advanced Oracle for .NET and Oracle Web PL/SQL toolkit developer. He developed a lightweight PL/SQL API using a PL/SQL Web toolkit used by several portal applications, products, and utilities. Developed various Oracle for .NET applications: Xplain (An Oracle Database Reverse Engineering and performance management tool), Internet Protocol Surveillance System (IPSS), Oracle GoldenGate Configuration Assistant (GGCA), Oracle GoldenGate Companion, and Oracle GoldenGate load-balancer.
