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. Marlene Theriault
