MySQL

Acknowledgments

This book benefited greatly from the comments, corrections, and criticisms provided by the technical reviewers: David Axmark, Vijay Chaugule, Chad Cunningham, Bill Gerrard, Jijo George John, Fred Read, Egon Schmid, and Jani Tolonen. Special thanks goes to Michael "Monty" Widenius, the principal MySQL developer, who not only reviewed the manuscript, but also fielded hundreds of questions that I sent his way during the course of writing the book. Naturally, any errors that remain are my own.

I'd also like to thank Tomas Karlsson, Colin McKinnon, Sasha Pachev, Eric Savage, Derick H. Siddoway, and Bob Worthy, who reviewed the initial proposal, and helped shape the book into its present form.

The staff at New Riders are responsible first ...
