The Guru’s Guide to Transact-SQL

Author(s): Ken Henderson, Joe Celko

Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional, Year: 2000

This is a coder's book. It's intended to help developers build applications that make use of Transact-SQL. It's not about database administration or design. It's not about end-user or GUI application development. It's not even about server or database performance tuning. It's about developing the best Transact-SQL code possible, regardless of the application.
