About RisingRoad
Breck Carter (center in photo) is the founder and principal consultant at RisingRoad Professional Services. He began his career with mainframe database application development in 1972 at Crown Life Insurance in Toronto. He then worked as a Research and Development Software Engineer at Amdahl, Project Leader at Air Canada and Application Architect at Confederation Life Insurance before making the big switch to Windows client server development in 1993.
Breck first worked with a relational database management system in 1972, at the University of Toronto, before there were any practical commercial implementations. Since then he has has worked with Oracle, IBM DB2, Gupta SQLBase, ASE and Microsoft SQL Server as well as SQL Anywhere.
Breck's first experience with distributed databases came in 1993 on a project using SQL Server for the central database, Gupta SQLBase on the remote workstations and a custom PowerBuilder program to perform the database synchronization. In 1995 he began working with SQL Anywhere and SQL Remote to perform database replication, and in 1998 with the MobiLink synchronization server.
