Sams Teach Yourself Transact-SQL in 21 Days

I haven't had time to read the book, but it was highly recommended.

I am learning how to write queries on the Plex server, and the reference materials are really key to solving the differences between what I am used to with MS Access and the new system. There really is a lot you can do.

Great service ... exactly as advertised. or even better. I was expecting the same from their reputation and reviews.word 1 word 2 word 3 word 4

No CD-ROM, which is supposed to be part of the book. Don't know how to learn the SQL language without data sets.

Very satisfied!

This book is good for beginner and advanced SQL Server user. The lessons are explained clearly and easy to understand.

I knew only how to pass a SELECT * statement before obtaining this book. I have since taken a job writing code from what I learned from this book. Not only is their a wealth of information, but the exercises challenge the reader to think "outside the box" and create code using the information learned in the chapter. I would have given this book 5 stars but sections like views were a bit weak. After reading this book definitely pick up The Guru's Guide to Transact SQL.

As a relatively new database administrator with no SQL experience, this book was EXACTLY what I needed. It is written in an easy-to-read and easily comprehended style. It takes me everywhere I need to go with confidence that the code I now write will perform the necessary functions...and perform them efficiently and effectively. Thank you, Sam!
