A good end to the week

Working for an IT services company I tend to get quite a bit of variety in the work that passes my way. Although (for me) it is always data warehouses, the works ranges from completely new systems, through data warehouse migrations, enhancements, to steady-state maintenance and performance tuning. This week my team started work on a long awaited migration of a small DWH (0.5TB) system for one of my customers, this type of work is so enjoyable – you see results quickly and know that the end result will be better than the original system. True there will always be those unexpected issues where legacy code stops working in the way it used too, but that too is part of the joy of learning about Oracle.
