We always love to hear Chris Foot talk, whether discussing drill-down Oracle how-to’s, or answering questions on his popular Oracle blog. Now that he has been titled Oracle Ace by Oracle Corp., we took the opportunity to get a little less technical and a little more personal about topics like his career as an Oracle DBA, what’s on his Oracle bookshelf, what is the deal about outsourcing, and where he sees the role of the DBA changing going. Join Tom Parish for a casual conversation with DBAzine.com’s Oracle go-to, and technical whiz, who’s proving these days that sometimes, nice guys do finish first!
