SQL Bible [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

Acknowledgments

Alex: My deep gratitude goes to my wife, Liana, for helping me to
organize material and make sure that examples in this book work as we say they
should. I also thank Liana for putting up with my insane schedules.

Boris: I
sincerely thank my wife, Kate, for her professional help, moral support, and
unconditional understanding. Writing a book was a stressful process for both
authors and their families. Kate not only helped me to go through these
difficult times, but she also actively participated in the writing of this book
by reviewing the chapters, helping with SQL examples, and making valuable
suggestions and comments.

I am grateful to all my friends who
were with me when I needed them.

My gratitude also goes to Professor
Jaideep Srivastava, who introduced me to the relational database world.

Alex and
Boris: Thanks to Jim Minatel, Senior Acquisitions Editor at Wiley
Publishing, for his help with the project and his guidance through the maze of
editorial procedures.

We thank the Wiley editorial team,
especially Eric Newman and Maarten Reilingh, for helping to make this book
better than it would otherwise have been, providing valuable suggestions on how
to improve the book's content, and pointing out omissions, oversights, and
outright bloopers.

Finally, we thank our technical
editors for their help with preparing the publication.
