Project Name: Database configuration management and upgrade utility for VMware solutions
Project Overview:
This project aims research/design implementation of unified DB configuration and management application for various VMware products supporting multiple DBMSs (Oracle, DB2, PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server).

- Implement DB configuration execution module in Java, allowing:
a. Configuration of DB connectivity for both interfaces, ODBC and JDBC
b. Working with all supported major DB vendors, including SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, PostgreSQL
c. Testing connectivity and application requirements check as permissions, storage, DB server version and patch level, etc.
