Description: Let's see - 600+ code samples, in-depth coverage of all things TSQL, top-notch writing, poignant quotes, code you can actually USE -- what else is there? This one is over the top. My favorite things are: 1) The motherlode of undocumented features - some real sleuthing went into uncovering these 2) The inclusion of abridged results with the sample queries (allowed me to read through most of the book commuting back and forth to London without breaking out my laptop). That said, Henderson avoids repeating the obvious, and clips where it makes sense (as he promises in the Preface). 3) The exhaustive coverage of subjects technically not TSQL-specific, such as full text search, OLE automation, transactions, and cursors. For the first time, I think I finally have a handle on how transactions work. I had to buy a second copy of this book because I wore the first one out! If you'd like to learn the nuances of Transact SQL from a master teacher, get this book and read it cover-to-cover.
