1. A must have book for T-SQL programmers

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, November 12th, 2006

   Itzik is an internationally renown lecturer, trainer and writer who anyone familiar with SQL Server will immediately recognise.
   "Inside SQL Server: T-SQL Programming" is an excellent book, invaluable to both SQL Server DBA or Developer and has something for even the most experienced programmer. This book will help you take full advantage of all the new T-SQL features in SQL 2005.

2. an excellent technical resource for both features and techniques of Sql Programming

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, July 12th, 2006

   Not only is this an excellent technical reference, it's also an excellent read - offering plenty of food for thought around subjects such as design and application of User Defined Data Types, and the age old discussions of cursor usage. This is a book I will be coming back to repeatidly and is a very good compliment to the T-Sql Tuning book. Each subject area is covered to a good depth, and generally includes the history surrounding the feature and techniques in which it might be applied, resulting in a resource that is valuable both for experienced and new Sql Programmers.
