Sams Teach Yourself Microsoft SQL Server T-SQL in 10 Minutes
A great little book. It has Chapters on some of the new Xml and Full text Searching stuff that is good. It also has the standard stuff. It is products specific as the name suggests.
It covers what can be quite a heavy subject in a very readable way.

So it's simple.

Great Read 15 May 2009
Format:Paperback
If you have been dropped in at the deep end and need to learn T-SQL commands quick then this is the perfect book. Each chapter is 10 minutes long and is written in a very clear manner so you'll be learning in no time. Great book for those new to the subject or those who want to expand their knowledge.

Format:Paperback
Exactly what I wanted - a short reference I can flick through and pick up the basics from to get me started on things like stored procedures and triggers. Nothing too involved or complicated. Although the description states, "Includes SQL Server 2005" like it was something new, I was able to use this basic grounding on SQL Server 2008 as well.

Good starting point, But you'll need a more detailed book
First don't think you'll lead SQL Server in just 10 minutes! I think the tile is a bit misleading. The idea of this book is they've broken the learning down into 30 lessons that... Read more

Excellent book great value for money
Content of the book is short and snappy enough to get the point across without overloading with information. An excellent book for anyone seriously considering learning T-SQL.

A bit disappointed with this book... The level and depth of content was even less than I had expected. There really wasn't much i this book to get your teeth into. Read more

Perfect
This book is just awesome. It is easy to read and understand while covering the entire subject in just enough detail. Of course it's no encyclopedia, but it's not meant to be. Read more

Very good but brief
This is a very good book and explains things very well.
It isn't really designed as a reference as it is too brief,
but it does what it sets out to do, and well.
