For an excellent technical look at SQL Server 2000 I'd recommend Inside SQL Server 2000 by Kalen Delaneyhttp://www.microsoft.com/MSPress/books/4297.asp |

What do you recommend for more of a beginners T-SQL book. The Guru's guide looks to be a bit more advanced..quote: Originally posted by robvolk Of course there's alwaysThe Guru's Guide to Transact-SQL andThe Guru's Guide to SQL Server Stored Procedures, XML, and HTMLboth by Ken Henderson.Man, it's been a while since I've done one of those.

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 thought this; http://www.amazon.co.uk/Advanced-Transact-SQL-SQL-Server-2000/dp/1893115828/sr=1-2/qid=1159372698/ref=sr_1_2/202-3616484-6507057?ie=UTF8&s=books Don't be afraid of the title, if you can do a SELECT which lets face it, you wouldnt be here if you couldnt, then you know enough to use it..."Impossible is Nothing" |

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. |

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.Website created by Programmer to Programmers: http://www.sqlref.comHizuka Naomi(Cyber-Girl) |
