| There are tons of websites and books. One that covers a decent breadth of SQL Server is called: T-SQL 2008 Joes 2 Pros: Core T-SQL Coding Fundamentals For Microsoft SQL Server 2008http://www.amazon.com/T-SQL-2008-Joes-Pros-Fundamentals/dp/1439239827/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1264536751&sr=1-1Granted, it's targested to 2008, but I don't think they go into anything specific to 2008 if memory serves me.------Also, Beginning SQL Joes 2 Pros: The SQL Hands-On Guide for Beginners.http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-SQL-Joes-Pros-Hands/dp/143925317XIt also help prep for an MS certification..EDIT: I linked to the wrong book. But, I left it just in case it helps. |
