Author Bio
Marlene Theriault has over 14 years of experience as a database administrator, starting with version 2.0 of the Oracle RDBMS. She has presented papers at numerous conferences throughout the world, including various IOUG-A, DECUS, EOUG, and Oracle OpenWorld conferences. At the 1997 East Coast Oracle conference, Marlene tied for first place with Steven Feuerstein, receiving an Outstanding Speaker award. She also received the Distinguished Speaker award two years in a row at ECO-'95 and ECO-'96. Marlene's articles have appeared in Pinnacle Press' Oracle Developer magazine, IOUG-A's SELECT magazine, and many user group publications. Marlene reactivated the Mid-Atlantic Association of Oracle Professionals' Database Administration Special Interest Group and is the current chair of the MAOP DBA SIG. She authors an Ask The DBA column for the MAOP newsletter, and her articles and columns are available at http://www.maop.org/sig-dba/. For recreation, Marlene is an avid volksmarcher who has, with her significant other, Nelson Cahill, walked at least 6.2 miles in every one of the United States. She loves to travel and has been on numerous cruises. She can be reached via email at Marlene.Theriault@jhuapl.edu. William Heney started working with version 2 of the Oracle database in 1980. After doing application development in FORTRAN and what then passed for Forms, he began to specialize in DBA work. In the ensuing years he has worked for a wide variety of customers, many of whom wanted some form of access control implemented in the database. Some of the techniques acquired during these experiences are reflected in this book. Computer programming was not Bill's original occupation. His first bachelor's degree is in music education. It was while serving in the U.S. Navy that he became interested in electronics and, later on, computers. For relaxation, Bill likes to spend time outdoors with Ellen, his wife, enjoying their mutual interests of camping, biking, and skiing.
