Customer Reviews

Good book for beginners

I disagree with the negative comments given to this book. Even if it IS simply a rewrite of Books Online (a complaint of other reviewers), it's done in a very easy to read style - and the order of topics covered worked well for me. I've been programming with VBA for years, but was totally new to stored procedures - and this book has me tackling stored procedures with confidence. I'm impressed. I'm guessing this is NOT a good book for the person who has been working with stored procedures for a long time and wants fine-tuning - some of the examples are a bit simplistic - BUT it IS a good book for the beginner. Maybe even more important, unlike most "beginner" books, the author includes solid conceptual foundations - explaining the why as well as the process.

Nice book

I use this book very often. I wish it had more than 330 pages.

Very useful, definitely recommend...

This book really helped me to discover the proper and efficient use of Stored Procedures. You will be impressed to know what you can do with Stored Procedures. This book covers every aspect of dealing with Stored Procedures and really is a must have for any SQL Programmer.

Great for learning in an intermediate level

I think that this book definitly enabled me to understand and code in a more efficient manner, t-sql statements.
