Creation Data Matrix in Java ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I would like to acknowledge his gratitude to Gary Dodge my friend and mentor, Mogens Norgaard for opportunity and motivation, Jonathan Gennick for patience and wisdom, Abdul Ebadi for encouragement and inspiration, and Lori Shine for hope, love, spirit, and fun. There are so many more, family, friends and colleagues alike, and I love the world in which I live. Tim Gorman I would like to thank Lex for his friendship and his great ability to teach in a clear, awsome, pedagogical way. Inger J rgensen The first, and perhaps most important, acknowledgement I make goes to Lex de Haan for creating the original version of this book. I am very honored to follow in his footsteps and to enliven his work. There have been so many enthusiastic people in the Oracle community that I've met in classes, consulting engagements, and conferences over the last 20 years. These connections are my favorite part of what I do. It is my hope that this book makes a positive contribution back to the community that has given me so much. Finally, thanks to my family for all the support and encouragement not only to complete this work, but every single day. It's coming home to you that makes everything complete. Karen Morton

This book was born from a translation of a book originally written by Lex de Haan in Dutch. That book was first published in 1993, and went through several revisions in its native Dutch before Lex decided to produce an English version. Apress published that English version in 2005 under the title Mastering Oracle SQL and SQL*Plus . The book has since earned respect as excellent, accurate, and concise tutorial on Oracle s implementation of SQL. While SQL is a fairly stable language, there have been changes to Oracle s implementation of it over the years. The book you are holding now is a revision of Lex s original, English-language work. The book has been revised to cover new developments in Oracle SQL since 2005, especially those in Oracle Database 11g Release 1 and Release 2. The book has also been given the title Beginning Oracle SQL . The new title better positions the book in Apress s line, better refects the content, fits better with branding and marketing efforts, and marks the book as a foundational title that Apress intends to continue revising and publishing in the long term.

This is not a book about advanced SQL. It is not a book about the Oracle optimizer and diagnostic tools. And it is not a book about relational calculus, predicate logic, or set theory. This book is a SQL primer. It is meant to help you learn Oracle SQL by yourself. It is ideal for self-study, but it can also be used as a guide for SQL workshops and instructor-led classroom training. This is a practical book; therefore, you need access to an Oracle environment for hands-on exercises. All the software that you need to install Oracle Database on either Windows or Linux for learning purposes is available free of charge from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN). Begin your journey with a visit to the OTN website at: http://www.oracle.com/technology/index.html From the OTN home page, you can navigate to product information, to documentation and manual sets, and to free downloads that you can install on your own PC for learning purposes. This edition of the book is current with Oracle Database 11g Release 2. However, Oracle SQL has been reasonable stable over the years. All the examples should also run under Release 1. And most will still run under Oracle Database 10g, under Oracle Database 9i, and even under Oracle Database 8i, if you re running software that old. Of course, as you go further back in release-time, you will find more syntax that is not supported in each successively older release. Oracle Corporation does tend to add a few new SQL features with each new release of their database product. Oracle Corporation has shown great respect for SQL standards over the past decade. We agree with supporting standards, and we follow the ANSI/ISO standard SQL syntax as much as possible in this book. Only in cases of useful, Oracle-specific SQL extensions do we deviate from the international standard. Therefore, most SQL examples given in this book are probably also valid for other database maagement system (DBMS) implementations supporting the SQL language.
