Best SQL Primer

I bought this book to cram for an interview and found it to be an excellent reference book. The inside cover has the syntax of the SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, and DELETE commands - quite useful. A bit below Unleashed standards

This book was a tad dissappointing to me. Maybe that is because of the standards I have come to expect from the unleashed series. In my opinion, the 6.5 sql server unleashed book is more thorough. While this book is still a good reference, it does not provide the in-depth coverage of the more advanced topics that everyone has come to expect from the unleashed team. Dire

As a SQL Server DBA of over seven years, I looked over this book when a friend was looking to get up to speed on SQL Server. Unfortunately I cannot recommend it, as it was full of errors, which the accompanying website does nothing to correct. It simply skims over the surface of what you need to know as a DBA, omitting important details which a serious DBA should be aware of. A developer who's never used SQL Server might find this of passing interest to get an overview, but don't be lulled into thinking that you'll be even partly useful as a SQL Server DBA after reading this - you won't. It's way too lightweight to recommend as a serious publication - and why it covers triggers by part 3 is anyone's guess.
I'd more strongly recommend something like the SAMS 'Teach Yourself SQL Server 2000 in 21 Days' book, which is definitely much better value for money if you're serious and much better than the online SQL Server documentation for beginners. Not recommended. *the* Apache guide

The book is not superb nor explains everything about Apache , but this book really concentrates on Apache. I've seen lots of books titled Apache Web Server but full of web tutorials, TCP/IP and even HTML reference. This book is not perfect but very satisfactory. This is a wonderful book for people just starting off

This is the only apache book I have been reading, so I can't compare it to others. Its organized realy well. All though this is a dummys book, I would strongly suggest learning the basic commands for unix or linux, the basics of the emacs editor, and how the linux operating system is organized before getting involved with apache. Learning the above really shouldn't take that long or much money. If you buy packaged linux distro, it will come with a manual to help you learn how the os works and the commands that you will need. Mandrake 7.1 and Caldera OpenLinux are available here in the software store, both a very good choice, it will get you up and running quickly and easily. This book is easy to understand and it gets you excited about becoming a web master. Highly recommended. END The perfect computer book

This is the perfect computer book. I think what I like the most is how easily it reads. What a great writer. He makes learning fun. I like the abundance of code to. It's refreshing to read a computer book that's enlightening and a good read at the same time. It makes learning transact-sql so much easier. Thanks for the chapter on Transaction Management. It was worth the price of the book alone (true for most of the chapters in the book - good stuff). If you want to know Transact, this is the book.

There aren't a lot of Transact-SQL books on the market, and when I saw that O'Reilly had one I had to have it. Whether you use SQL every day or just want to start learning... This is the perfect book. From the basics, to an in-depth understanding of the subject, this book acomplishes it all. Transact-SQL in a Nutshell is by far, the best 35 bucks I've ever spent. I use SQL every day, and this book has improved my developement time and quality by leaps and bounds. This one should actually get an extra star. A very good book on PHP

I'm new in php but I had a lot of programming experience. This is a very good book on php. The explanations are very clear, the examples are very good. Good book for beginners of SQL Server, not SQL.

I was experienced with Access and Sybase dbANYWHERE before I read this book, and had a pretty good knowledge of SQL. Obviously some readers buy this book with the assumption that it is an introductory book on SQL; and then wrote negative reviews on Amazon. It is not. It is a good, and concise introduction to how to use Microsoft's flagship RDBMS, MS SQL Server. I found the book to be useful with many good examples, and good coverage of potentially confusing topics like transaction processing and triggers. I recommend the book to readers with knowledge of SQL who would like to migrate their applications to MS SQL Server. No-nonsense SQL Server 2000 Database development essentials

As a university lecturer, I found this book the ideal text for students with limited time, who needed to rapidly master the essentials of SQL Server database development. The majority of text on the subject is very detailed, very technical, albeit very authoritative, however one has to wade through a mass of concepts before gaining a practical proficiency in the subject. Rob Hawthorne approaches his subject through the development of a single project - the Spynet application which deals with the allocation of secret agents to spying activities. A strange topic to introduce one to SQL Server 2000? Maybe. But you have to read the book and be introduced to the author's wry sense of humour to understand the merits of his approach, which is based on sound technical information presented in an inimitable style which wants you to read more. By the end of the book you WILL understand and be reasonably proficient in SQL Server 2000. What I particularly liked about the book is its analytical efficiency. The author does not simply present code and give a general description of the functions and operations. He analyses each line of code and explains in simple terms exactly what it does. I also like his approach to the data administration aspects, which most students would shy away from. However, as the author presents these aspects, one realizes that the information is actually necessary to be able to work proficiently in SQL Server, and it is not necessary to be a database administrator in order to have sufficient technical knowledge to manage your applications well. The book has a strong section on trouble-shooting and debugging applications and informative information on internet based applications using Active Server Pages and the client server environment.
Altogether, a highly recommended book if you want to get into Microsoft SQL Server quickly, without being bogged down by all the technicalities.
