Useful Information - Conceptual Organization Lacking
13 Jun 2006
Format:Paperback
This book contains much useful information on SQL Server 2005 T-SQL enhancements, but it regularly employs functions and constructs in its examples that are only explained in later passages. Specifically, when attempting to absorb a new concept by examining a code example, you must also contend with looking up items which have not yet been covered. This is a mild stumbling block but it hurts the flow of the book.
Also, the practice database (Asset5) did not attach properly (on my SQL Server 2005 STD edition install regarding appropriate permissions to modify objects) and the most direct workaround was: (1) To use the included, but unreferenced script to initialize the database and all its objects using a "new name" for the database (2) Attach the original database - Asset5 (3) Use the data import feature to populate the "new name" database tables (4) Drop the attached database Asset5 (5) Rename the "new name" database to Asset5. I did first attempt to modify the permissions associated with the login I was using - unsuccessfully...
By way of comparison I am using Oracle Press' "Oracle 9i The Complete Reference" by Koch and Loney as a standard of clarity and conceptual organization for PL-SQL. It is on this basis that I assign this book 3 stars, but admit that I have yet to discover a better book for advanced T-SQL topics. Please feel free to forward me better titles.
As an aside, Murach's SQL for SQL Server is the best introductory text I have found for T-SQL.

Helpful but needs improvement
12 April 2007
Format:Paperback
In SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedure Programming, Dejan Šunderic describes practical uses of T-SQL stored procedures well beyond the level of coverage reached by most other books dealing with SQL Server 2005, including the book on T_SQL programming by Itzik Ben-Gan, et al. Microsoft's documentation, while thorough, is useful mainly to provide reminders when one already knows the the structure.
Šunderic describes some of the interactions between SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio languages, including of course the SQL Server 2005 techniques for using these languages to write stored procedures, but also showing how to use Visual Studio 2005 as a debugger for stored procedures written in T-SQL.
It would probably have been helpful for many readers had Šunderic described the main access classes that the Visual Studio languages provide to reach SQL Server, that is, the SqlConnection, SqlCommand, SqlParameter and SqlDataReader classes. This topic is missing or barely mentioned in every current book on SQL Server and the .NET and Visual Studio technologies.
It would also been of use to many readers had Šunderic shown examples utilizing some of the key improvements in SQL Server 2005, for example generating lightweight cursors on table variables and implementing messaging. Both are likely to involve stored procedures. A messaging discussion almost starts in the final chapter, where Šunderic seems to be running out of steam.
Overall, Šunderic has written an informative and helpful book that substantially augments information available from other books and from Microsoft documentation.

Great help...
10 Jun 2006
Format:Paperback
This book is a great help for beginners or those transferring from the SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. Well-written and comprehensive with detailed guidelines for DBAs and developers, it helps answer any questions one might have in their day to day work with SQL server. You will find great tips and useful examples; a great way to expand your knowledge of stored procedures, new functions used in SQL 2005, and offers a means of combatting common errors. Highly recommended!
