About Me

My name is Haidong Ji. I was born in Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province, China. This is my name in Chinese: 季海东. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in International Finance from Xiamen University and Master of Science degree in Economics from Illinois State University. There is a little more information about me in this post.

I am an independent consultant, focusing on Microsoft Sql Server, Oracle, MySql on Solaris and Linux, and database interoperability issues. Prior to my current role, I did VB6/COM, ASP and ASP.NET development work. For what it’s worth, I am a MCSD, MCDBA, and CMDBA for MySQL.

I am a regular columnist for SqlServerCentral.com. I am also a co-author of three books: Professional Sql Server 2005 Integration Services, Professional Sql Server 2005 Administration, and Professional SQL Server 2005 Performance Tuning.

I have also presented at various user group meetings and conferences. I presented at PASS Sql Server European Conference in Barcelona in February, 2006 and will present again at PASS conference in 2008.

I appreciate any consulting/training leads you can send my way. My email address is Haidong dot Ji at gmail dot com.

20100820 update: I am not doing much SQL Server nowadays. I work quite a bit with Python and Linux currently.
