Product Description

Product Description

Be the first to master SQL Server 2005's breakthrough database development capabilities

Few technologies have been as eagerly anticipated as Microsoft SQL Server 2005 ("Yukon"). Now, three SQL Server insiders deliver the definitive hands-on preview--accurate, comprehensive, and packed with examples.

A First Look at SQL Server 2005 for Developers starts where Microsoft's white papers and Web articles leave off, showing working developers how to take full advantage of Yukon's key innovations. It draws on exceptional cooperation from Microsoft's Yukon developers and the authors' hands-on access to Yukon since its earliest alpha releases.

You'll find practical explanations of Yukon's new data model, built-in .NET hosting, improved programmability, SQL-99 compliance, and much more. Virtually every key concept is illuminated via sample code tested with Microsoft's public beta.

Key coverage includes:

  • Yukon as .NET runtime host: enhancing security, reliability, and performance
  • Writing procedures, functions, and triggers in .NET languages
  • Leveraging powerful new enhancements to T-SQL
  • The XML data type and XML query languages
  • SQL Server 2005 as a Web Services platform
  • Client-side coding: ADO/ADO.NET enhancements, SQLXML, mapping, ObjectSpaces, and more
  • Using SQL Server 2005's built-in application server capabilities

    Already committed to SQL Server 2005? Simply evaluating it? Looking to set yourself apart from other SQL Server developers? Whatever your goal, start right here--today.

    4.0 out of 5 stars The best book there is until the revised edition comes out, 23 Sep 2004
    By Daniel Maharry "tech writer" (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    Databases are at the core of most software projects these days and there is a fair amount of competition between software vendors for a bigger share of a lucrative market. However, it would be fair to say that only DBAs really know what their database servers are capable of and maybe only half of them really everything that their software can do. One of the biggest arguments for this First Look At SQL Server 2005 book then is as a prospectus for all the developer-related features and functional nooks and crannies that the next incarnation of SQL Server (codename 'Yukon') will contain.

    Split over seventeen chapters and two appendices, this very thorough book covers the ins and outs of four main topics - SQL Server as a CLR host, XML, enhancements to the existing features of SQL Server 2000 and notification services - that should be of interest to developers looking forward to a world of Whidbey and Yukon. Topics such as security and XQuery aren't exhaustive - they'd each take up a book on their own - but all the main points within the context of this book are covered. Indeed, with the exception of Chapter 14, which covers a feature since removed from SQL Server 2005 but is well written anyway, each chapter is clean, concise and packed with useful information.

    The author team of three have produced a book that at times goes as deep into detail as Don Box's Essential .NET does while treating 'lighter' topics such as Microsoft's new enhancements to T-SQL, in no less detail but in an easier to read style. The main focus of this book are the new opportunities for developers to utilize Yukon but administrators can also take a lot away from this book having been made aware of areas that developers may focus on. In all, this is an excellent preview book on developing with SQL Server 2005 in mind and should be kept around until the revised version comes out for the actual release of this new database.
