Kim Berg Hansen

Content Team Chair

Kim Berg Hansen is a database developer from Middelfart in Denmark. Originally wanting to work with electronics, he almost coincidentally tried computer programming before discovering where his talent lay, as the programs he did worked very well (unlike the electronics projects he shouldered, which often failed). After that experience, he progressed from Commodore Basic on VIC-20 over Modula-2 and C at Odense University to Oracle SQL and PL/SQL, which he now has worked with extensively since 2000. His professional passion is to work with data inside the database, utilizing the SQL language to the fullest to achieve the best application experience for the users. Kim shares his experience and knowledge by blogging, as the author of Practical Oracle SQL, presenting at various Oracle User Group conferences, and being the SQL quizmaster at the Oracle Dev Gym. His motivation is when people say they “now I understand" after his explanations, or when end users say they “can't live without" his application coding. He is certified Oracle OCE in SQL as well as an Oracle ACE Director. Outside the coding world, Kim is married, loves to cook, and is a card-carrying member of Danish Beer Enthusiasts Association.
