Oracle Utilities is a useful book for me. The table at the beginning of the book was worth the price alone, since it listed all executables and packages, what they did, and which version of Oracle they were available in. I have to admit that I was unaware of many of them listed in the book (orakill, oradim, maxem, autotrace). The author also covers well known utilities (tkprof / imp / exp) but for these concentrates on practical usage instead of what they do.

T-sql coding is not easy. It's not easy to get right. I teach classes and see people get it wrong almost everyday. This book is the first I've seen to show how to write code that is both fast and robust, that is readable as well as tunable. You will not find a better selection of top-notch code and expert commentary on T-sql than what you find in this book. I definitely recommend it.

This book is useful if you are unexperienced with PHP and need to learn but not for go beyond. I found some sintax mistakes in the examples and the order of every chapter is not so logical, but anyway I think this is a book with good concepts for any PHP Programmer.

Title: Professional SQL Server 7.0 Programming

Authors: Rob Vieira
Rating: 5/5
Beginners: Don't be scared off by the 'Professional' in the title! This is the best book available because it actually teaches SQL programming in a few chapters (and that's all it SHOULD take).Intermediates: This book is your best bet to develop for SQL Server. Go beyond the basics and learn what you've been missing. (IMPORTANT: not much about administration is covered, but Robert makes it very clear that that is not his goal.)Professionals: Once you get past Chapter 8 (Normalization), you'll be in the territory you got the book for: SPROCs, extended stored procedures, security, data transformation, English Query... the list goes on.The great thing about all of this is that the book reads like a textbook (for beginners) but has great referential information (for professionals). I have come across very few, if any books that are able to appeal to this broad of an audience.
