This text is a reference for anyone administering a SQL Server database or building client/server applications using SQL Server. The CD-ROM includes source code from the book and additional libraries... This description may be from another edition of this product.
The formatting of the book is lousy. There are many errors in the examples given. The book is written in parts as if you know nothing about database theory or SQL and other parts take an assumption that you are an expert and only have the book for a quick reference. There is too much cross references in the book to be a useful.
Decent book for folks that understand SQL already

Some of the samples are outright incorrect, but the discussions of how to do things are solid. Seems to cover all the bases without being so basic and plodding it gets boring.
