 The definitive SQL Server Programming Guide
This is an excellent follow to his book on Professional SQL Server 2000 Programming. If you're going to be doing a lot of true SQL server programming, there is no better guide out there.
 Define 'programming'
When working with databases, there's querying, and everything else. A DBA might set up a database; an advanced user might progam stored procedures and triggers, ponder indexing, effectively use cursors, etc. - but if you just want to know how to write a query to accompish a task, this is *not* the right book to help you learn. Check out 'SQL Server 2005 T-SQL Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach' by Sack.
 Cash Grab! Stay away - get the 2000 book.
The second topic I looked up I ran across this problem...

br /Page 353:
br /
br /He says there are four different isolation levels you can set - that was in SQL Server 2000 - this book is about SQL Server 2005. Where is SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SNAPSHOT?
br /
br /Chapter 12, 'Transactions and Locks' is almost a cut and paste from his 'Transactions and Locks' chapter in SQL Server 2000 Programming!
br /
br /Encryption - Let's see - 2 pages, and 3/4 of a page is a copy of an image from BOL.

br /His 2000 book is better.
Awesome title from a surprising source.
I've never been a fan of the Wrox product line, but purchased this book on the recommendation of a friend.
br /I couldn't be happier. The author is one of the most knowledgeable, and he writes in an accessible style.
br /I've heard some gripes about how he discusses the organization of his book a little too much, but the reasons for these passages are to reinforce the importance of the concepts being covered in relation to other concepts.
br /I'd recommend this book to beginners who are fast learners, or to old hands that want to pick up a new trick or two.
Great book
I found this book extremely helpful in wrapping my brain around some very difficult to grasp concepts. The author writes in a way that's very easy to understand (especially with such a difficult topic such as SQL programming).
