Looking good.

I still would remove the use of "Etc." - for example, in your list of 
programming languages.

I've another friend who's applying for a job; one thing in his CV that 
might be useful to add to yours is a "Career Focus" or "Objective" 
section at the top.

This is something that would vary depending on the job you were applying 
for - in my friend's case, he lists his career focus as "Transferring 
ideas into software into sales", and then describes his experience.

He's older than I am and has more experience in his field, so it's pretty 
impressive.  It's basically a summary of his skills that relate to his 
objective (ie, the job he wants).

In general, using active verbs instead of passive verbs is good - and 
you've done well with this.

I would remove "(see next point)" from the second bullet under your 
current job responsibilities; they're going to do that naturally. :-)

I might also be inclined to remove "Previously this work was done by an 
external contractor." - that's not really relevant to your responsibility 
for the database.  I probably wouldn't even say "Took over management of" 
but just "Responsible for managing".  But that's a minor tweak.
