This is a great book for begging SQL Server, not programming. There’s confusion in the text between some programming methods and their actual SQL application. If you’re looking for programming with SQL Yeah not so much. But if you’re looking to work with SQL server as a whole then this is pretty much the bees knees.

Mike takes great masses of information and compresses them down into manageable blocks, allowing even the silliest of the dullards can understand the core concepts.

I’ve read other SQL books and SQL server books, and the one thing lacking from them that was evident here was the organized approach in which the content is delivered. That includes everything like information about the actual tools you can use and even business intelligence and SQL server integration.

As always there’s an EBook version and a resource kit on the attached CD which made things a lot easier.

Only down side of the book proved that some of the scripts failed to work correctly. A quick skim through the resource cd and the previous chapters was more than enough to go back and ensure that the script was fixed.

Overall on the scale of helpfulness this is right up there with a 8. Its great for “newbs”!
