Not sure if Stelios is in this list so I CC him. Stelios: you may want to
join oracle-l
I read a couple of first-version chapters and I was pleased with the
content. I will read it once I get my printed copy (i still prefer to read
technical stuff in paper...) I will get 3 printed copies and I plan to
share one with Abel Macias and one with Mauro Pagano.

Anyways, I met Stelios a few years ago and I know he is well versed in
SQLTXPLAIN, so I expect this book to be of good quality. He contacted me
with questions during his writing, so I am confident the book will be
mostly accurate. But since SQLT evolves faster than humans, I expect the
book to become obsolete in less than 2 years!

I truly appreciate Stelios volunteering to write this much-needed book,
specially considering that he has invested an enormous amount of his
personal time in order to accomplish this endeavor.

Cheers -- Carlos
