Adrian Neagu has over ten years of experience as a database administrator, mainly with DB2 and Oracle databases. He is an Oracle Certified Master 10g, Oracle Certified Professional 9i, 10g, and 11g, IBM DB2 Certified Administrator version 8.1.2 and 9, IBM DB2 9 Advanced Certified Administrator 9, and Sun Certified System Administrator Solaris 10.

I would like to give many thanks to my family, to my daughter, Maia-Maria, and my wife, Dana, who helped and supported me unconditionally, also to my colleagues, my friends, Pete Finnigan, 
Laszlo Toth, Steven D. Macaulay, Rukhsana Khambatta, and the Packt Team and to all those who have provided me with invaluable advice.
