There are a number of people who played important roles in making this book possible. First of all, we would each like to thank our co-authors. We hope that by pooling our experience and our knowledge, we have made the book stronger. Next, we would like to thank the editorial team at Microsoft Press for their dedication and skill: David Clark, Anne Taussig, Kathleen Atkins, Alice Turner, Elizabeth Cate, Dail Magee Jr., and Marzena Makuta. You did an excellent job of organizing, scheduling, providing necessary materials, offering feedback, and asking the right questions to make this book better—and you did it in a kind and professional manner. It was great working with you all!

We owe a special thank you to Mitchell Schreoter for contributing to this book by writing Chapter 23, "Accessing Microsoft SQL Server from the Internet." We appreciate his expertise and his willingness to participate in the book, and we look forward to collaborating with him on future projects.

The author Marcilina S. (Frohock) Garcia would also like to thank Ed Whalen for being the lead on this book and for being so great to work with. Thanks to Jamie Reding for always answering our picky SQL Server questions. And thanks to Steve DeLuca for his great contribution to the book. I would like to thank my husband, Luis Garcia, and my 8-year-old stepdaughter, Marilyn Nicole Garcia, for their encouragement in writing this book. Hayabusa Luis? I also would like to thank my dear parents, Ron and Twila Jean Frohock, for their continuing prayers and support. And a special thank you to my grandparents, Benjamin and Wilma Frohock, for always being so proud of me, and to Vernon and Twila Harris, who are looking down from heaven. And of course, I would like to thank God, who made all of this possible.

The author Jamie Reding would like to thank Ed Whalen and Marci Garcia. As always, it has been great working with you both. I would also like to thank Steve DeLuca for his insight and contributions to this book. I would like to extend my thanks to my parents, Jack and Karen Reding. Thank you for all your support throughout the years. Finally, a very special thank you to my wife Sharon and my sons Alex and Jackson for their patience and support during the long process of writing this book. Hey guys, you are the best!

The author Edward Whalen would like to extend many thanks to Marci Garcia, who has been great to collaborate with on books. I would also like to thank Jamie Reding for taking the time to contribute to this book. In addition I would like to thank Steve DeLuca for his contribution to this effort and for the previous books he has worked on with me. And I would especially like to thank Mitch Schroeter for his work on Chapter 23. I would also like to thank my parents, John and Lilly Whalen, for their continuing support, and to mention my brother Robert, his wife Annette, and my very special nieces: Michelle, Valerie and Natalie. Finally, I would like to thank my wife, Felicia, for putting up with me during the time I wrote this book.

The author Steve Adrien DeLuca would like to first thank the people on the management staff at Microsoft and the great Distributed Management Division, which I am extremely glad to be part of: people like Brian Valentine, Deborah Black, and Casey Kiernan (thanks for the help on our latest patent). I always felt lucky to work in this environment because I get to work with the best engineers in the industry, and I am lucky enough to call some of these people my friends. I would like to extend my thanks to those very talented engineers and friends that I work with such as Kevin Hodge, Juhan Lee, Paul Darcy, Sally Martin (my co-inventors on many different patents that we have applied for, all sponsored by Microsoft), Chad Verbowski, Iain Frew, Vij Rajarajan, Kishnan Nedungadi, James Johnston, Sheela Word, Cary Rohwer, Lauren Gallagher, Jenny Lehman, and Edward Williams. I can never adequately express the feeling I have for close friends such as Ed Whalen, Marci Garcia, and Jamie Reding, whom I have worked with for many years and co-authored with in previous writings. I also would like to thank friends that have supported me through the years such as Pat Beadles, Kathryn B. Hodge, Chef Guido and Cheryl D'Ambrosio, and Tony and Kris Vanacore. And last, but first in my thoughts, thanks to my family especially my wife, Jean; my daughter, Tina; my sister, Sue; my brother, Nick; and my mother, Esther. I would like to dedicate this writing to the memory of my constant companion of 17 years, and one of the sweetest beings ever to grace the earth, Asta. A special thanks to the editing and publishing teams at Microsoft Press for so often turning my writing into English, and making my English understandable.
