Who We Are

He will teach you what you need to know so you can achieve consistent and optimal performing systems. Period. We are passionate about teaching and empowering you!

What We Do

Through our research and fieldwork, we have spearheaded a number of now-accepted, industry-wide best practices. For example, we have introduced to the Oracle community block selectivity based index analysis, wait event analysis, response time analysis, multi-perspective computing system analysis (3 circle diagnosis), ratio modeling forecasting, and analytical capacity planning modeling. These have all been initially publicized and driven into the mainstream by OraPub's publications, consulting engagements, teaching, products, and speaking engagements.

OraPub's founder, Mr. Craig Shallahamer, is a keynote speaker and continues to research and publish multiple technical papers as well as present at Oracle conferences each year. His classes have been taught to over 1000 students located on 5 continents in 13 countries. Nearly 30% of OraPub students are consultants!

And, we guarantee our work. OraPub has been around for over 11 years researching, writing, and publishing papers, tools, and products. We have never had anyone even hint that they did not receive an exceptional value. We are so confident in our training and products, if you are not satisfied, we will refund your payment. Period. There is no fine print.
