Feuerstein has developed software since 1980. He spent a total of twelve years with Oracle Corporation (1987–1992, 2014–-2021) and served as PL/SQL evangelist for Quest Software from January 2001 to 2013. In March 2014, he re-joined Oracle Corporation as an Architect and leads a team of Oracle Developer Advocates. [2]
Between 1999 and 2008, he focused his attention on improving the testing of PL/SQL programs, first by starting the open-source framework utPLSQL for unit testing PL/SQL, later on through the creation of Quest Code Tester for Oracle, which automates PL/SQL code testing. [1]
Steven was one of the original Oracle ACE Directors and publishes regularly in Oracle Magazine and in the ODTUG magazine.
In April 2010, Feuerstein launched the PL/SQL Challenge, [3] a daily quiz on Oracle PL/SQL that quickly attracted over 1,000 daily players, making it one of the most active PL/SQL-related websites on the Internet.[ citation needed ] In 2011, Feuerstein added the PL/SQL Channel, [4] which offers video-based training on the Oracle PL/SQL language.
In March 2014, Feuerstein re-joined Oracle Corporation as an evangelist. He then formed the Developer Advocates team to help Oracle Database users take full advantage of this database to build their applications. The PL/SQL Challenge was transformed into the Oracle Dev Gym, which offers quizzes, workouts and classes on SQL, PL/SQL, and other Oracle technologies.
In February 2021, Feuerstein left Oracle to join Insum Solutions as a senior advisor.
