Author’s Acknowledgments
First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge the help of Jim Melton, editor
of the ISO/ANSI speci cation for SQL. Without his untiring efforts, this book,
and indeed SQL itself as an international standard, would be of much less value.
Andrew Eisenberg has also contributed to my knowledge of SQL through
his writing. I would like to thank Michael Durthaler for helpful suggestions
regarding the coverage of cursors. I would also like to thank my project editor
Kim Darosett, my technical editor Robert Schneider, and my acquisitions
editor Kyle Looper for their key contributions to the production of this book.
Thanks also to my agent, Carole McClendon of Waterside Productions, for her
support of my career.
