Pro SQL Server 2005
Tom has already blogged about it, and
so has Louis.
But for me, it wasn't real until Friday night when UPS showed up and
delivered my copies. I have to say, seeing my name on the cover
of a book for the first time was a great feeling. I put a lot of
work into my chapters, and I'm happy with the outcome. I think
the entire book came out quite well.
I wrote chapters 4, 5, and 6: "T-SQL for DBAs", ".NET Integration",
and "Programming Assemblies". Chapter 4 includes material on topics
like online indexing, partitioning, SNAPSHOT isolation (still my
favorite SQL Server 2005 feature), etc. Chapters 5 and 6 are dedicated
to CLR integration, as you can probably tell by their titles. Chapter
5 is basically an in-depth look at ADO.NET integration and writing a
CLR stored procedure. Chapter 6 delves into UDTs, UDFs, and UDAs, and
triggers.
So please
check it out if you're looking for a SQL Server 2005 book! And of course, send me any comments on the material I wrote!
