      I would like to thank my parents, my wife and three children, SJ, James, and Jack for their understanding and support while I spent many hours and late nights on the book. I would also like to thank my colleagues for their help in reviewing and commenting on the material in the book. In particular, I would like to thank Brian Badenhorst, Steve Phillips, and Parvez who all have helped me in some way to produce this book.

      Stephen Phillips was born in London in 1959 and moved to Australia in 1969 when his family emigrated. He studied Computer Science at the University of Melbourne and has worked in IT in both Australia and the U.K. for over 30 years. He began his career at the Government Computing Service (GCS) in Melbourne, Australia in 1981, working on Burroughs mainframes. Since that time he has worked in all scales of equipment and on projects ranging from large-scale implementations of Oracle HRMS to small PC-based systems for a single client.

      Stephen has worked extensively with Oracle software since 1989 and moved back to London in 1994 in order to broaden his experience.

      Since his return to the U.K. he has worked for a number of prestigious clients, including Oracle UK, Reuters, Lloyds TSB, Walkers Snack Foods, The John Lewis Partnership, and the Ministry of Justice. Stephen has worked on Data Migration projects with a number of these clients, as part of their implementation of Oracle HRMS/Payroll.

      In 2003, Stephen completed the MSc degree with the Open University. The major area of his dissertation was artificial intelligence, as applied to the compiling of public transport timetables.
