For Lisa

As noted in the 2002 hit movie About a Boy, no man is an island While that

sentiment is certainly a general truth, it is one that I have specifically experienced

as I’ve written this book As such, I would like to acknowledge the help received from those who assisted, either directly or indirectly, with the words found between these covers

First, I would like to thank the many editors at Cengage Learning who skillfully enhanced and improved many aspects of this book as it was brought to fruition Without Mitzi Koontz, my acquisitions editor, this book literally would not exist Keith Davenport, my technical editor, did an outstanding job in his review

I thank him for the numerous suggestions and corrections that he provided Finally, Marta Justak, my project editor was superb in pulling it all together, while adding a professional touch and coherency to the entire project

I would also like to thank a former colleague, Mary Anne Schneider, who con-tributed to my understanding of SQL, and other associates at ASAP Software who gave me the freedom to explore things on my own

Finally, and most especially, I would like to thank everyone in my immediate family for their encouragement and support as I’ve dedicated myself to this project this is for Lisa, Steve, Dan, Emily, and Kyle
