Dear ,

  I am writing to express my interest in the Oracle Developer position within your company. 
With over 36 years of hands-on experience in Oracle technologies, particularly SQL and PL/SQL, 
I bring a deep and mature understanding of database development, optimization, and long-term system reliability.

  At 62 years old, I offer not only technical expertise but also stability and commitment. 
You can be confident that I am not seeking short-term engagement — I am looking to contribute meaningfully and sustainably to your team.

  I am also highly curious and open to learning. Whether it involves mastering a new language, adapting to emerging technologies, or integrating with modern development environments, I embrace change as an opportunity to grow.

  I would be delighted to discuss how my experience and mindset can support your projects and goals. Thank you for considering my application.

Warm regards, 

Patrick De Ridder

I have 36 years of experience in ORACLE mainly with SQL and PL/SQL and a bit Sql*Forms (6 years). I worked in France (11 years) and in Belgium (24 years) and one year in Luxembourg. At the beginning of my career, I also developed in C and Pro*C, as well as COBOL and Pro*COBOL to facilitate migration to databases. subsequently I used Sql, Pl/sql, Sql*Forms.

I would say that my most relevant training is simply my career. Because it allowed me to learn a lot of things at both the technical and human levels (what we don’t learn in class). Moreover, during this career, I was confronted with bugs and imperatives (existing, at the client’s request) that we did not have during a training!!
