Customer Reviews

Good book, a bit wordy.

This book has a lot of tips about SQL Server, although it doesn't say that on the cover. This was actually good for me since I was going on a job interview and I needed something like a comprehensive tips reference book on SQL (and SQL Server). I could have easily chosen a worse book. It's a bit wordy for me, and I'm not used to seeing so many typos, but considering that I have seen some terrible SQL books out there (including my college text), this book is actually well thought out.

Everything but the kitchen sink

I agree ... this book covers all aspects of SQL. Code examples work and are meaningful.

Great book

A must have book for database programmers and administrators. Covers all aspects in detail. A very good reference.

Answers every question you might ask

I wasn't expecting two people from UPS to have carry this book into my office--the book is huge. I have been using MYSQL for a year and I am moving to MS SQL Server. The book's tips (over 600) have been invaluable. I used the code the book provides to convert many of applications to support transactions. Got to eliminate tons of code. Very well done! Recommend.
