What is an Oracle Developer?

An Oracle Developer is a developer who builds applications and programs that interact with an Oracle Database. Oracle developers in business intelligence design, develop and integrate technology to mine data and provide reports across an enterprise. These professionals use business intelligence tools, such as dashboards or scorecards to provide decision support. Their work is not only in analysing, gathering, managing and integrating data but also in creating new ways of analysing data that can generate actionable information. They are often the first step in automating business processes.
