5 out of 5 stars Great book   March 13, 2009

I'm new to T-SQL and this book has been a great help in getting me to up and running with some of the basic T-SQL statements. In addition to this book, I have a MS-Press Designing & Implementing SQL Server 2005. The Sam's book got me up to par to handle the more difficult design and implementation book.

Read this book if you are new to Microsoft SQL Server. This book is well written and gets right to the main points of T-SQL. I especially liked the later chapters on Views, Stored Procedures, XML, and programming with T-SQL. This is one of my top 10 computer books and I always keep this book close at hand for reference. Use another book if you are looking for the hard core nitty gritty details of SQL Server. I hope Ben Forta writes a "Sams Teach Yourself" book on for other SQL server features like SQL Server Integration Services or SQL Server Reporting Services.


5 out of 5 stars The perfect companion for learning T-SQL   June 19, 2008

5 out of 6 found this review helpful

This is a great book for any newbie to T-SQL. There are lots of examples and each of those is accompanied by an explanation, without assuming that you already knew something (a pet peeve of mine for many how-to books). The chapters are broken up well and each leads into the next seamlessly. It is not the ultimate reference guide, but if you are looking to learn and understand how T-SQL works, then this is the book for you.
