Product Description

Product Description
  • After a quick primer on database design basics and the SQL query language (for those programmers who may be building their first database application), this book provides an overview of SQL Server itself, which has been dramatically redesigned with the 2005 release
  • Once readers have grasped the fundamentals of database design and SQL concepts, they will then learn how to implement those concepts with Microsoft SQL Server 2005
  • Addresses creating and changing tables, managing keys, database normalization, writing scripts, working with stored procedures, programming with XML, and using SQL Server reporting and data transformation services
  • The companion Web site provides all of the code found in the book


From the Back Cover
Covering all the fundamentals of SQL Server 2005, this developer–oriented guide begins with an exploration of the foundation objects of SQL. Each chapter builds on the previous one, gradually progressing to increasingly advanced topics. By the time you′ve completed this book, you will be prepared to perform as an efficient SQL Server 2005 programmer, and, when ready, move on to the more advanced Professional title.

What you will learn from this book

  • The various user–defined functions and triggers
  • How to create and change tables
  • Ways to manage keys, write scripts, and work with stored procedures
  • Techniques for programming with XML
  • How to use Reporting Services and Integration Services
  • The different peripheral features of SQL

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, BUT..., 26 Aug 2006
This is a great book, as Vieira's books always are. However, it is a near-total rehash of some chapters from Professional SQL Server 2000 Programming. If you already have that book (as I do), then this book won't be overly useful since you'll know pretty much everything in it already.

It does not cover SSIS, which is SQL Server 2005's replacement for DTS packages, except at an extremely basic level. It does not go in-depth on many new T-SQL language features, including the PIVOT/UNPIVOT operators. It skims over the complex features, which makes sense since it's a book for beginners, but it does claim to be useful to experienced programmers new to SQL Server 2005. I don't agree; experienced programmers will have most of their questions answered by the books online and there are books you can buy that specifically cover SSIS, analysis services, etc. So experienced programmers don't really need this book at all.

If you're on SQL Server 2005 and you are brand new to database programming then this book will be incredibly useful. If you're already familiar with SQL Server 2000, I'd give this book a miss. Maybe the Professional book (due in a few months) will be more useful. The book is incredibly well-written and very clear and easy to understand, and Vieira's conversational tone makes it pleasant to read. It doesn't seem forced; many tech authors try way too hard to make dry material interesting or funny. That isn't the case here.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid MSSQL Introduction, 9 Nov 2007
By laconical (South Africa) - See all my reviews
Although I can program at an average level in a couple of lanaguages I have had little exposure to SQL programming and databases. This book has provided an excellent introduction to the world of SQL within the MS SQL Server framework.

The book is targeted at newbies like myself with no prior experience of SQL before. It is very clear and concise resulting in my having to re-read chapters or sections again very rarely.

The only slight negative is a paucity of end of chapter exercises upon which to practise the techniques that the chapter has just covered.

Having spent a good few hours browsing through a variety of introductory texts on SQL before deciding which one to buy, I believe this one does a very good job and can strongly recommend it.
