Mark Williams
Orlando, FL Area, United States
I'm a Product Advocate and in the past I've been an Oracle Software Developer as well as a DBA. I authored the ODP.NET column in Oracle Magazine and the Apress book "Pro .NET Oracle Programming". I'm also an Oracle ACE Director alumnus which means I tend to advocate Oracle and try to help people with it. This site may or may not have (meaningful) content. Sometimes I am a perfectionist. I reserve the right to edit and/or delete comments. Personal blog that does not represent any company. I bet you knew that. Married to a serial tea drinker.
