Add me to the "5 Stars" club

I can't say much that hasn't already been said in other's praises, without sounding redundant (there's too much of that in this field already.) This book is worth every cent paid. Of all the poorer-quality publications out here, esp. those with reams of endless prose and little substance, this one comes through. I do apply several criteria when judging a computer book (yes, even "theory" has its place...sorry), but the...

Good behind-the-scenes expose for any SQL Server DBA

I really enjoyed this book. It is well organized and well written. Plus, it deals with issues and topics that just aren't covered in the twenty pounds of books that Microsoft provides with SQL Server. All the information on data storage, transaction processing and, especially, query opitmization is invaluable to any serious MS SQL Server DBA/developer. Knowing how the query optimizer "thinks" helps solve most SQL tuning...

Warp 9 Bulk loads AnyOne ???

This is possible because Sybase put in a special sub-set of db_lib that implements a bulk-load API, and Microsoft got that in the bargain too. Using these techniques I have been loading...

Focuses On Programming & Application Development

I tried to load the InterDev environment from latest MSDN as recommended in the book and it still doesn't work so not everything in the book should be trusted. (Wasted 3 days and in the...

The best resource for 6.5 programming

This is without a doubt the best collection of advice for anyone working with SQL 6.5. It covers almost every aspect of SQL programming, and suprisingly covers a huge amount of useful information across each of its subject areas.I was the technical editor for this book, but I would honestly recommend this for anyone developing solutions using SQL Server.
