At NTL / Telewest it has been the task to engage in projects which require an understanding of PL/SQL scripts for Oracle 9i / 10g platforms. The data for the networks is polled daily and then transferred into various Oracle Tables, stopping and starting DB, troubleshooting through Sybase & Mysql. Perl/CGI scripting: One of the main projects throughout the contract has been to develop perl/cgi scripts and re-engineer existing scripts in order to present the data in a meaningful manner in the form of web-based tools for internal usage upon the intranet. The data is stored in Oracle, Mysql, Sybase databases. System analysis Documentation, both Word-based and using a wiki: Revision control (subversion) - on Solaris: Revision control of a specific form utilised for the NIS maps. Understanding of hfc networks: HFC architecture is currently a key mechanism in the formulation of healthy networks for NTL / Telewest for providing media based services.
