This thorough, hands-on reference for database developers and administrators
delivers expert guidance on sophisticated uses of Transact-SQL (T-SQL)-one of
the most familiar and powerful programming languages for SQL Server. Written
by a T-SQL guru, this guide focuses on advanced querying techniques and how
queries are interpreted and processed by the SQL Server execution engine. You'll
get in-depth coverage of the sophisticated uses of T-SQL, including the differences
between logical and physical processing, nesting of queries, and much more.
The book explains and compares solutions to database-development problems in
both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005, discussing the new T-SQL programming
features added to SQL Server 2005 in detail. Includes extensive code samples,
table examples, and logic puzzles to help database developers and administrators
understand the intricacies and help promote mastery of T-SQL.

Very valuable resource!
You don't always have the opportunity to learn from MASTERS like Itzik Ben-Gan and the other co-authors...but you WILL learn from the T-SQL masters in this book!
This is an OUSTANDING BOOK and even though I've been acquainted with T-SQL for nearly four years I'm amazed at the insight and depth found in this book.
If there is any "ding" against this book it's that the book is not for absolute beginners...better have at least a clue before cracking these pages.
I also heartily recommend Itzik's T-SQL Programming book...buy these both at the same time!
