Customer Reviews

NO Fluff

Good book so far, this is an area I wish to master in the next year. This is all meat & potatoes with no fluff really. Also nice to see an informative book not cost 50.00. For the money this is a great buy and will demonstrate many of the brokers areas and techniques. Seems if you are creative you can take the knowledge from this book and write some neat stuff. After this is completed I will read up in BOL on this area and then goto MSDN to see whats up there.

Written by the Program Manager for the Product

Service Broker is part of Microsoft's continuing effort to expand into the enterprise software arena. It works in conjunction with SQL Server 2005 and provides for the asynchronous operation of the database and input/output. That is, you can input data intended for storage in the database and have Service Broker take that data immediately, freeing up the input screen while it proceeds to do the actual insertion. The Rational Guide series of books are comprehensive, inexpensive and rather small. This book really has less than 200 pages of real live text. It can be read quickly and gives an excellent overview of the software as well as enough depth to be able to use it in real applications. It does presume that the reader have some experience with SQL Server and with the TSQL programming language. The author of the book is the program manager for SQL Server Service Broker.
