Inside Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2005, Fourth Edition

Acknowledgments

As always, a work like this is not an individual effort, although my name is the only one on the cover. I could not have written it at all without information, help, and encouragement from many people.

First on my list is you, the reader. Thank you, thank you, thank you for reading what I have written. Thank you to those who have taken the time to write to me about what you thought of the book and what else you want to learn about. I wish I could answer every question in detail. I appreciate all your input, even when I’m unable to send you a complete reply.

Thanks to Ron Soukup for writing the first edition of Inside SQL Server and for giving me his "seal of approval" for taking on the subsequent editions. Thanks to my former editor ...
