Programming MS SQL Server 2005

A hands-on reference for developers and database administrators, this book covers the basics of developing customized database applications with Microsoft SQL Server 2005. Includes code samples and real-world, expert insight.

SQL Server 2005 is a huge release, and, to be truthful, SQL Server is now formidably vast and complex. It is no longer just a phenomenal enterprise relational database management system. It is now a bona fide middleware, service-oriented, message-based programming platform; an XML document repository; a desktop and mobile device database engine; a market-leading business intelligence (BI) platform; and a real-time alerting system all rolled into one. In fact, SQL Server isn't one product. It's a collection of products and technologies that, although related, should each be considered separately. How can such a massive product be covered comprehensively in a single book?

Our book reflects this reality and in many ways replicates the structure of a Sunday newspaper. For one thing, a great number of authors have been involved in producing the book, drawing on their expertise in their chapters' specific subject matter. For another, the context and style of certain chapters differ markedly from those of other chapters. Some chapters cover specific subject matter deeply. Others cover a broader range of material, and do so at a higher level. That's an approach we didn't anticipate when we started the book. But it's the approach we found most effective by the time we finished. We think it makes an otherwise overwhelming set of technologies much more approachable and makes the learning process much more modular.
