Consultancy

I am an independent consultant specialising in Oracle databases. I am based in England and generally work for clients in the UK and Europe.

I perform DBA tasks including RAC installations, performance tuning, Data Guard configurations, upgrades and migrations. I provide specialist knowledge of Oracle internals to solve extreme performance issues such as redo generation, latch contention and library cache fragmentation. I also assist in the design and development of a couple of Oracle tools for international customers.

I work directly for a number of customers specialising in short term consulting assignments from one day to around two weeks.

With effect from 1st October 2007 until further notice my daily consultancy rates for new business are as follows (amounts in sterling) :

I am generally available at short notice, though I do have UKOUG RAC & HA SIG and other speaking commitments throughout the year. For current availabiliy see http://www.juliandyke.com/Calendar/Calendar.html
