Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
When it comes to selecting computer books, deciding which book to buy can sometimes be even more confusing than the software it is written about. However, if you are looking for a book to instruct you on the use of SQL Server 2000, choosing this book, Professional SQL Server 2000 Programming, could well simplify your selection process.

In addition to providing a thorough treatment of SQL Server 2000 development, Robert Vieira's extensive reference also devotes quite a lot of space to covering SQL in general and issues relating to database design. Included is a complete introduction to Transact-SQL and an excellent chapter on normalisation that will go a long way for many to de-mystify the mystery of an over-referenced but much misunderstood database design concept. There is also in-depth information on the new features of SQL Server 2000, including indexed views, user-defined functions and support of XML. Sadly, there is no accompanying CD, but source code for the book can be downloaded from the Wrox Web site.

While you don't need any knowledge of SQL Server or database administration to make the most of this book, you will need a reasonable understanding of programming fundamentals. That said, the author's down-to-earth style makes it possible for anyone with some programming background and the will to learn, to really get to grips with SQL Server 2000 development. If you are looking for a book that combines rich content with clear explanation, then look no further than this excellent title. --Peter Lunn

Book Description
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 will be a significant new revision of the fastest rising player in the RDBMS marketplace. Microsoft is actively encouraging a growing number of users onto the SQL platform, by making it cheaply available. The new release, SQL 2000, is tightly integrated with Windows 2000, offering more support for XML and much improved OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) services.

SQL Server is very strong in the market place, supporting both small and large Internet sites. Large users include Merryl Lynch, DELL Computer and HarperCollins Publishers. Commercial applications running on SQL Server range in size from small databases such as Sales Logix, to large ERP systems such as SAP, where it is now the SAP "preferred" database for NT based installations. SQL Server is now first choice for the developer wanting a powerful, reliable and sophisticated database.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read book, 16 Aug 2002
By R. Chafer "killerapp" (Manchester) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you want to know about SQL Server - BUY THIS BOOK. I have read a few SQL Server books and NOTHING comes close to this book. The descriptions are clear, the examples precise. Page after page are littered with valuable, hard won, information. The authors has extensive knowledge of SQL Server and it shines though. A man who understands the subject matter and can explain it ... a rare thing in my experience. If you read one book about SQL Server, make it this one. Also, if you are using SQL Server 7, don't be put off, most of what is said applies to '7' and most differences between '7' and '2000' are clearly explained.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the money, 27 Aug 2003
By A Customer
I have just got this book the other day, and for the price it is I can defiantly say it is well worth the money. I had never used SQL Server before and only used Access in the past, this is a perfect book for learning SQL Server 2000 - The first few chapters set the ground work and is a bit boring as your keen to get to the pratical parts but you need to do it and is worth reading so the rest makes sense. Very nice examples, easy to follow. Another great book from Wrox to add to my collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great introduction to SQL Server and T/SQL, 3 May 2002
By A Customer
As an experienced C++/Java developer with limited database experience I found this book to be really useful. It was pitched at the right level for me. I was initialy a little put off by the 'Professional' tag, I assumed it would require some previous knowledge of SQL Server. Instead the 'professional' should be taken to mean 'Software professional' rather then database specialist.

It's pretty big, but remarkabley easy to read. Well written in a friendly in style without being patronising or dumbed-down.
