The Guru's Guide to Transact-SQL

Although not yet updated to SQL Server 2000, this is the advanced Transact-SQL programming book with the best reputation in the market. I'm sure this Ken Henderson's book won't disappoint you.

Targeted to advanced programmers

 

Inside Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (With CD-ROM)

As you know, this is the book I consider my SQL Server 2000 Bible. It is an advanced book focused on SQL Server 2000 internals, which I consider extremely important to obtain that extra performance gain from your database system.

It is not a book for beginners, but for those who don't have enough with the standard documentation, and love to look under the hood.

 

Advanced Transact-SQL for SQL Server 2000

This book has two excellent authors: Itzik Ben-Gan (SQL Server MVP y one of the most recognized experts on SQL Server) and Dr. Thomas Moreau (who doesn't know his contributions to SQL Server Professional magazine?).

On this book, they tried to avoid the common examples and problems already available on the official documentation and other books, driving you across many interesting, sometimes unconventional, SQL Server problems and scenarios. This book covers some features not available on the official documentation.

This is a good add-in to professional with SQL Server 2000 experience.

 

Joe Celko's SQL for Smarties: Advanced SQL Programming

Considered for many SQL professionals a SQL genius, sometimes controversial due to his comments on SQL Server and Transact-SQL, it is always a pleasure learning something from him.

 

 

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Resource Kit (With CD-ROM)

The long awaited SQL Server 2000 Resource kit is finally here, including extra documentation, and tools to help on administering and developing SQL Server 2000 database systems.

 

SQL Server Magazine

From the same editors of Windows 2000 Magazine, this is the most comprehensive magazine on SQL Server.

 

SQL Server Professional

A highly professional "all-beef" publication on SQL Server from Pinnacle Publishing.
