Preface1
We dedicate this book to the memory of one of our original coauthors, Jonathan
Stern. Jonathan unexpectedly passed away in March of 2007. Yet his memory lives
on for those of us who knew him and, in many ways, for those who will read this
book. Let us explain.
The original outline for this book was first assembled at the ubiquitous coffee shop
located in the Sears Tower in Chicago. It was 1998 and the authors had gathered
there with a common goal. We were all Oracle employees working in technical sales
roles and had visited many organizations and companies. We found that many IT
managers, Oracle database administrators (DBAs), and Oracle developers were quite
adept at reading Oracle??™s documentation, but seemed to be missing an understanding
of the overall Oracle footprint and how to practically apply what they were
reading.
