Should Be On Every DBA's Shelf!

A truely do-it-all book. Robert Vieira has written the Transact-SQL programmer's dream. Not only is it a good reference for the more advanced DBA, but makes a decent beginner's guide (the book is not a "teach yourself", but rather for a beginner who has completed some SQL Server basics). This is the book for the beginner who wants to move through intermediate to advanced topics. The book covers:I. Particulars and...

Fantastic SQL Book

This book is somewhat of a rarity to me. Many of the other SQL books are, as you can well imagine, very boring. Rob Vieira does a great job making this book flow from subject to subject in such a way that it's almost a page turner.

THIS BOOK SHOULD GET 8 STARS!

This book is THE book when you want to learn SQL Serever 7 Databases. I passed the SQL Server 7.0 Database Design and Implementation exam 70-029 by studying this book! Its VERY clearly written. Anyone who has a concept of what SQL Server does and is, can master it by using this book. And guess what?, it has enough gun powder regarding SQL Server 7.0 to help you actually pass the 70-028 Admin exam as well! Last but not...

Most technical books on advanced subjects leave much to be desired. They are often too academic and are for the most part a repeat of the manufacturers standard literature, (for example Microsoft's literature). Robert Viera has written a book that is easy enough for the beginner to follow and yet aimed at the serious professional dealing with real world technical problems.

Excellent Book

If you're looking for a well-organized and well-written approach to SQL7, this is the one. I looked at a few other, supposedly high-ranked books, and trust me, this one blows them all away.The material is very broad, yet you never feel overwhelmed, as you move from one topic to another in an orderly and logical fashion. The author is both very technically knowledgeable and actually able to communicate; often a rare combination...
