Paul DuBois began his involvement with MySQL after recoiling in horror at the complexities of dealing with a database from one of the larger commercial vendors, and with its customer support mechanism. Turning to MySQL for relief proved to have unforeseen and unexpected consequences: first, as the opportunity to contribute to the MySQL Reference Manual; then to writing MySQL with New Riders; and most recently, to his present employment with NuSphere, a company actively involved in MySQL development, promotion, and training.

Paul s responsibilities and interests have at one time or another involved database development, Web site development and management, mailing list management, system administration, and TCP/IP and AppleTalk networking. He s considered a leader in the MySQL and Open Source communities.
