SQL Server developers worldwide raved about Ken Henderson's The Guru's Guide to Transact-SQL: its exceptionally clear, conversational explanations, and its powerfully useful projects and code examples. This book helps SQL Server developers take the next step -- building more powerful, robust applications than ever before. Henderson identifies several key areas of SQL Server development that offer the greatest power -- and then covers each of them in exceptional detail. The book includes especially thorough coverage of Transact-SQL stored procedure programming, including features such as extended procedures, database design, and XML that are often disregarded in competitive books. Henderson introduces a method he has developed to add arrays to T-SQL, something previously thought impossible. He offers an ideal balance of theory and code, gradually building on basic techniques to create increasingly sophisticated solutions, and teaching the philosophy of Transact-SQL programming alongside syntax and technique. An accompanying CD-ROM includes extensive source code, including valuable proprietary code that makes T-SQL queries run faster. For every SQL Server developer.
Ken Henderson, a nationally recognized consultant and leading DBMS
practitioner, consults on high-end client/server projects for such
customers as the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy, H&R Block,
Travelers Insurance, J.P. Morgan, the CIA, Owens-Corning, and CNA
Insurance. He is the author of five previous books on client/server
and DBMS development, a frequent magazine contributor to such
publications as Software Development Magazine and DBMS Magazine,
and a speaker at technical conferences.
