This book is a good examples book. It's organized more like two books in one cover having a fairly discinctive set of PHP and MySQL sections. It tries to be all to everyone for both, and actually does a credible job of pulling this off.

If you are looking for a Transact-SQL for Dummies book, keep looking. This book is not for rank beginners. It is instead for those who already know a bit about SQL Server and Transact-SQL and want to become experts. This book will make you an expert. I've never seen such a deep, all-encompassing collection of expert-level code and commentary in one book. Every example is packed full of useful tidbits and expert techniques. Best parts:1. The Undocumented Transact-SQL chapter -- lots of inside tips and tricks and hidden features here2. The Data Types chapter -- everything from a new Soundex routine to insights on how to deal with dates in Transact-SQL is here.3. The NULLs chapter -- these trip a lot of people up.4. The Sets chapter -- sets in Transact-SQL have never been easier or more powerful.If you study this book and learn its many wonderful lessons, you will become a Guru yourself.

Whatever caused these guys to think they had an advanced book here? This is strictly a beginner's book, and a poor one at that. As some of the other reviews have pointed out, the prose is fairly horrible and definitely indicates a problem with English as a language. More importantly, though, is the fact that there's little here that isn't also in the BOL (Books Online) that come with SQL Server. I was also put off by how weak the SQL 2000 coverage is. There are a good number of new features/functions/etc. in SQL 2000's Transact-SQL that aren't in this book. If you're going to regurgitate the vendor's online docs, the least you could do is do a complete job of it!

An informative and comprehensive book.
A lot of realistic examples and suggestions that help to
solve complex and everyday SQL problems quickly.
I was able to make a database deployment process easier and faster using this book solution. One of the best book on the market for the SQL Server developers of all levels.
