About the Authors
Robert Sheldon's MySQL programming is rooted in ten years of experience
working with SQL, as it is implemented not only in a MySQL environment, but
also within SQL Server, Microsoft Access, and Oracle environments. He has programmed
with SQL directly through database interfaces and script files and indirectly
through PHP, JSP, ASP, and ASP.NET applications that connected to various databases
and issued SQL statements. Robert has also managed the maintenance and development
of Web sites and online tools, which has included performing project analysis,
developing functional specifications, and managing database and Web development.
He has designed and implemented various Microsoft Access, SQL Server, and MySQL
databases, as well as developed and implemented a variety of Web-based solutions.
In all these roles, he has had to perform numerous types of ad hoc queries and
modifications, build databases, create and modify database objects, create and
review embedded statements, and troubleshoot system- and data-related problems.
In addition to having a technical and SQL background, Robert has written or
co-written nine books on various network and server technologies, including
two that have focused on SQL Server design and implementation, one on SQL programming
(based on the SQL:1999 standard), and one on Microsoft Office Access 2003. The
books that Robert has written contain training material that is designed to
teach users specific skills and to test their knowledge of the material covered.
Having contracted as the senior developmental editor for the Microsoft certification
team, he brought to these books his experience developing exam items that helped
to focus readers on the skills necessary to perform specific tasks. Robert has
also written and edited a variety of other documentation related to SQL databases
and other computer technologies. He works as an independent technical consultant
and writer in the Seattle area.
Geoff Moes is a software architect and developer who has designed and
implemented databases in MySQL as well as having designed and implemented software
systems in PHP, Java/J2EE, and ASP.NET that have utilized MySQL databases through
various database connectivity interfaces. Geoff received his bachelor’s
degree in Computer Science from Virginia Tech and has worked in the software
industry for 18 years. He specializes in software and database architecture
and development as it relates to Webbased systems. He has worked with several
database products in addition to MySQL, including SQL Server, DB2, and Oracle.
He has also developed a variety of software applications that have connected
to various databases using several different languages and platforms including
Java J2EE/JDBC/EJB, C++/ODBC, and ASP.NET/ODBC/OLEDB.
Geoff’s publishing credits include “Passing Arrays Between Jscript
and C++” (September 7, 2000, ASPToday.com, under WROX) and three articles
published in Windows & .NET Magazine (online): “Common Internet
Hacker Attacks” (December 1, 1998), “Remote Web Administration,
Part 2” (November 1, 1998), and “Remote Web Administration, Part
1” (October 1, 1998). Geoff works as an independent software consultant
in the Washington D.C. metro area. When he is not in front of the keyboard,
he enjoys photography, mountain biking, hiking, and international travel.
