Professional Experience:

Confidential, Chicago IL Nov '10 till Date Data Architect/DBA Consultant (Oracle 10gR2) Roles and Responsibilities:

• Performed logical and physical database design at the object level using Erwin. This included design of tables which were partitioned and sub-partitioned for Oracle 10gR2 database.
• Generated DDL scripts from Erwin and created objects in the database across multiple environments. This included complicated objects like snapshots and remote views across multiple databases using db-links.
• Assisted developers with application design and performance tuning of complex queries. This included using the dictionary tables, AWR reports and other tools.
• Provided support for development and production systems (weekly on call rotation). This also included offshore support.
• Followed the company's processes which included coordinating with various departments to deploy changes in production database.
• Maintained the enterprise data model repository using Erwin Model Mart Software.

Confidential, Chicago, IL May '01 till Oct '10 Systems DBA (Oracle 11g and MySQL) July '05 till Oct '10 Roles and Responsibilities:

• Led Oracle upgrade project from 10g (non-ASM) to 11gR2 ASM (HA Grid) -- Converted an 8 node 10g RAC to 5 node RAC. This included installing 11g GRID, ASM instance, multipath, ASM disk creation, SCAN (Single Client Access Name) and creating clustered 11g Oracle databases.
• Created Backup/Restore procedures and strategies. This included using RMAN/Flashback Technology. Backup mechanisms included using Data Pump exports, RMAN hot backups, and customized automated scripts. Also involved in managing the on-site backup and recovery process and support the off-site backup and recovery teams at the Data Center.
• Created a process for Disaster Recovery simulation. This included getting the last production backup before the disaster and restoring it on a new host machine.
• Periodic refresh of QA, INT and DEV test database environments using SNAPSHOT/COPYRESTORE method. Here a SAN snapshot is taken and a copy is made. The LUN is presented to the test host machines and then the LUNS are imported. The databases are then brought up as test databases by renaming the database.
• Heavy involvement in performance tuning. This included tuning SQL queries, adding indexes. Was in charge of monitoring and finding the worst performing processes and queries based on CPU, Active time, I/O from a QUEST tool (performance analysis) and then tuning it as per needs.
• Created and maintained Materialized view databases to create non-master sites kept in sync using replication. These views were created as read-only on multiple host machines. They were kept in sync with the master by frequently refreshing the data from the master site tables by setting up refresh groups that replicated to the materialized view sites. The idea was to distribute the user load across multiple database servers which were then accessed by the Front End client applications.
• Involved in consolidating databases to cut down costs. This included running multiple databases on fewer host machines. Also included optimizing system operations, resource utilization and performing system capacity analysis and planning. Santosh Vaidyanath 3/4
• Daily activities include configuration, operation and tuning of databases. Also included security management, instance performance monitoring, tablespace utilization, schema object management, database capacity planning, "bottlenecks" and "offensive" SQL activity monitoring and resolution.
• Practical knowledge of tracing and debugging. This included generating trace file reports using TKPROF, AWR, ADDM and interpreting them to optimize the performance of the databases.
• Experience with planning, coordination, implementation, logging and tracking.
• Created monitors and alerts for user sessions, concurrent processes, table extents and locks for production and test/development systems. Also created index rebuild and update statistics scripts.
• Provided 7x24 DBA production support where I worked with the DBA team for production on call support rotation
• Supported oracle users and developers with database application releases, also involved in assisting developers with application design and architecture.
• Performed physical database design at the object level using Erwin, create DDL scripts, define database objects, table partitions and external tables for the databases -- both OLTP and Data warehouse.
• Planned for and executed required database upgrades and migration (patches etc.)
• Good hands on experience using the following Tools -- TOAD, SQL-Navigator, Enterprise Manager, PL-SQL Developer, DBArtisan.
• Installed MySQL 5.1 database on multiple host machines. This included setting up replication (master-master and master-slave configuration for High Availability). Also involved in daily operation and management of the database, user/database creation, finding bad queries and tuning them.
• Experience with the MySQL Tools -- MySQL Administrator, MySQL WorkBench 5.2, MySQL Query Browser.

• Created custom API's (Application Programming Interface) for database interface and requests made by web applications and tools.
• Loaded data files from multiple sources and formats into Oracle tables using External tables and SQL*Loader features.
• Involved in consolidation of databases. This included combining the objects and eliminating duplications from instances and schemas.
