I have all those skills, except "Brio", unless you actually mean the little
wooden train sets. I didn't think so. I've been using Oracle off and on for
over twenty years. I've been exposed to IBM MVS COBOL but my badge isn't
completely darkened yet.

That rate is a sticking point, though. Would you consider tripling it?

Doing so would reap huge dividends, we're talking direct fiscal benefit to the
client. That forty bucks an hour will rent you at best a journeyman database
person who likely will have their head full of wrong ideas about database
structures; they might not even be aware that the basis of SQL is relational
algebra, i.e., set theory. Hiring someone who really, truly knows one end of
a foreign key from the other is worth it. At ca. $ 125/hr. you could probably
retain a professional whose value will easily be double that in direct project
cost savings, and more when you consider full lifecycle costs.

The database is the heart of the system - if your data are bad, your
information is bad. If you can't get at your data correctly, you got bad
problems. Your database person is not the place to be penny-wise.

Forty bucks an hour? You're joking, right?

Or as the wise man once said: "Nothing is more expensive than cheap
labor".
