For the later editions of this book, Rick would also like to thank all those colleagues
at Oracle who helped him in his time of need, checking on those last-minute clarifications,
including John Lang, Bruce Lowenthal, Alice Watson, Dave Leroy, Sushil
Kumar, Mughees Minhas, Daniela Hansell, Penny Avril, Mark Townsend, and Mark
Drake. And a special thank-youto Jenny Tsai-Smith, who always seemed to have the
time and knowledge to clear up any Oracle database problem. And last, but certainly
not least, his primary coauthor, Bob Stackowiak, who has become a good
friend over the years of collaboration.
Bob acknowledges all his friends over the years around the world at Oracle Corporation,
and from earlier stints at IBM, Harris Computer Systems, and the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers. Through personal relationships and email, they have shared a lot
and provided him with incredible opportunities for learning. At Oracle, he especially
thanks members of Andy Mendelsohn??™s team who have always been helpful in providing
material ahead of releases, including Mark Townsend, Raymond Roccaforte,
George Lumpkin, Hermann Baer, and many others.
