We have found someone and I'm certain that but for your generous words of encouragement it wouldn't have happened.

Keep the good cheer coming.

No, seriously: I doubted (without knowing the case) whether anything useful as you described could be done in that time. I don't care personally because I just don't take these real shorties any more: too many of them are wildly more demanding than is justified by the time/budget available.

But if your reputation is involved, you might want to know:
Who specified the work? Is it really specified?
Was it the same person who estimated the time needed?
Do they know what they're talking about? Did they tell you precisely enough for you to advertise properly?

If it really is just as described, good luck to you and the contractor.

Awful website - Flash only pretentious bollox. I'm amazed you managed to find any actual information on there.

If necessary it can go longer than 2 days but I doubt it should take longer. We already have it running but there is a definite gap in the skill set here.

If anyone is interested seriously please contact me at tracyd@thegrandunion.com

Thanks.

No point asking for contractors on this site, only permies, schoolkids, students and shopkeepers on here.

Don't be a spoilsport OracleSmith. Let somebody name their price, go in there, tell them what they want to hear and laugh all the way to the penny arcade.

Hello People,
Wondering if anyone on here is a certified Oracle DBA that can come in to do a day of two of software installation and light training. In Central London.

Have a client in desperate need of someone who can jump right in and train a few developers on how to use the basics of Oracle 10g. Extracting data dump, creating backups, etc.

Let me know.

Thanks,
Tracy

A day or two?
