Acknowledgments

Life is about peoplemy sincere thanks to the people who supported my efforts:

My technical editor, Matthew Roche. Your dedication and tenacity are much appreciated.
Sybil Earl, who gave me the freedom to make this possible and who introduced me to the world of SQL Server.

Chrys Thorsen, who gave me the last little "you can do it" push that I needed to get started with this project.

The "lab team" (otherwise known as the best trainers on earth): Karen Henderson, Beth Quinlan, Bob Tichelman, Cheryl Boelter, Barry Martin, Al Alper, Kim (Cheers!) Frank, and Anton Delsink. You all inspire me. I feel privileged to know and work with each one of you.

My two best friends, Lynn and Teri, what fun we have!
My daughterno greater joy is possible. ...
