 Best overall SQL 2000 book
By far, this is the best overall MS SQL 2000 server book written until today. Most topics are covered from basic to advance level. This book is a must have for anyone who is looking to get a well rounded knowledge of what's possible with MS SQL 2000.

br /The chapters I liked the most are:
br /Ch9 SQL Server Storage and Index Structures
br /Ch10 Views
br /Ch12 Stored Procedures
br /Ch15 Triggers
br /Ch16 Advanced Queries
br /Ch26 Full-Text Search
br /Ch29 Performance Tuning
br /All Appendixes
br /
br /Noticed that I said "best overall" "Most topics"; this book will not have an answer for very advance topics in areas like DTS, performance tuning, XML, Analysis Services. There are great books out there if what you are looking for is not in Professional SQL Server 2000 Programming. The "Professional SQL Server 2000 DTS" is the best I have read when it comes to Data Transformation Services. For performance tuning and XML you may find books written by Ken Henderson to be among the best. For Analysis Services I have not found one book I will recommend yet.

 Not bad not good
In general the book is ok. The author needed to make more research in some areas and not made use only of his own experience.
br /
br /He does not mention about the issues with no following ANSI 92. The stored procedures and the trigger parts are really boring.
br /
br /Sometimes the book is good but the author likes to move into areas he should not or he is not proficient enough. His comments on normalization and security are sometimes so strong that I tend to think that this guy is watching just one side of the coin.

 Tiny font
Excellent book, but the font is VERY small which makes reading difficult even though I do not have vision problems.
One of the best!!
I have this book and I can say it is the best SQL Server book I have ever read. It may even be the best Development/Computer book I have. Every chapter is easy to read, detailed and concise. The coverage is phenomenal. I use this for reference quite a bit. The only thing that is missing is more detail on DTS... but that is a book in itself.
 Un-satisfied with this book
If you ever read this book: Joe Sack' SQL server 2000 Fast Answers for DBA and Developer, then you will see Vieira's book misses so many details about SQL server 2000. Understanding that this book focuses on PROGRAMMING only, but still it misses many PROGRAMMING DETAILS of SQL server 2000. I do not have no connection to Joe Sack's business. I read and compare the two and speak out my mind.
