Can anyone make some good book recommendations for SQLServer2000 other than the Microsoft BOL?
Thanks |

Of course there's always
The Guru's Guide to Transact-SQL
and
The Guru's Guide to SQL Server Stored Procedures, XML, and HTML
both by Ken Henderson.
Man, it's been a while since I've done one of those. Felt good.  |

What do you recommend for more of a beginners T-SQL book. The Guru's guide looks to be a bit more advanced..

| Inside SQL Server, can't go wrong with that. SQL For Dummies was pretty good too, IMHO, but it's not SQL Server specific. |

I'd say the same thing about Ken's books, those two are not too advanced for a beginner, and it's easy to skip around or over things that are too much at first. And if anything, they'll stretch your mind rather than explode it.
His third book, on the other hand, whoa. Still haven't gotten all of that into my head yet. |

you mean
The Guru's Guide to SQL Server Architecture and Internals
this book does have some pretty damned advanced topics.

I recommend Professional SQL Server 2000 by Robert Vieira. Dont' be frightened by the word Professional, beginners should have no problem reading it. I bought the book when I start learn SQL Server and still keeping it until now.
