- Great book, disappointed in shippingGreat book!
However, it arrived very slightly damaged (one corner bent).Not enough damage to bother with a return; but disappointing on a brand new, expensive book.
Amazon does not seem to be paying as much attention to packing/shipping as they once did.
- good but needs edittingThere are a lot of typos and grammar errors in the book.Like "or" instead of "for", for example.
- dotNet DeveloperAs a dotNet Developer, I am often called upon to write my own database code or maintain existing db code.I am also called upon to diagnose performance problems or set security.Sometimes on lightly staffed projects, I am a defacto DBA.

- Just simply a great reference for SQL Server 2005Even for a beginner like me. This is a great book as a reference or if you learn by experimenting and need a book to look up things here and there. I'm not an expert with SQL Server but it really seems like this book is a must have if you're dealing with SQL Server setup, management, etc..
- great referenceI used this almost every day now for the past couple months. I used it as a reference with developing in SQL SEVER 2005. It answers about 80% of my questions. Must books answer a little more then half - so I give this five stars.
If you write a lot of code in SQL, I highly recommended this book.
