Thank you for purchasing my book, which would not have been possible without the help and support of a number of key people and organizations. First, I would like to thank my wife, Wendy, for her dedication, encouragement, and the sacrifice that she has endured. I would also like to thank her for her support at weekends and for putting up with my late nights' work. Wendy also helped me with the proofreading. Second, I would like to thank the reviewers of this book, who provided me with excellent feedback that helped me focus on the material for the Oracle community. Finally, I would like to thank Packt Publishing for asking me to write a second edition of Oracle GoldenGate 11g Implementer's Guide . I trust that you will find this edition just as interesting and informative as the first, enabling you to tailor a successful implementation of Oracle 12 c GoldenGate to your specific requirements.
