1.0 out of 5 stars MSPress, please get a better author, Dec 30 2005
By Mary Louise Belmon "MLB" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Introducing Microsoft SQL Server(tm) 2005 for Developers (Paperback)
This book is a good idea: an intro book for SS2005 aimed at developers, but it is unfortunately not implemented very well. Firstly, the author obviously isn't a professional developer. The advice he gives is just plain bad much of the time. It belies a lack of experience designing and building database systems. Secondly, the book was written for one of the really early CTP versions. Much of it doesn't apply to the actual product released in November. Thirdly, the author writes with a mix of arrogance and incompetence that, while entertaining, doesn't belong in a book like this. MSPress: do yourself and us readers a favor and get a better author for the next version.

4.0 out of 5 stars For Developers, May 22 2005
By Maxim Masiutin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Introducing Microsoft SQL Server(tm) 2005 for Developers (Paperback)
As it's obvious from the title, the book lists new improvements for programmers, not what become available to database administrators. It doesn't cover a lot of enhancements to enterprise data management in the following areas: high availability technologies, additional backup and restore capabilities, and replication enhancements; scalability advancements such as table partitioning, snapshot isolation; database encryption, and an enhanced security model; new management tool suite.

Programmers will find what was added to SQL language: ranking functions like Row_Number, Rank, Dense_Rank, NTile; new data types; the specific use of WITH clause; SOME, ANY and ALL operators; EXCEPT and INTERSECT set operators; PIVOT to create a cross-tab table; exception handling by TRY...CATCH; and other additions to SQL. A big chapter is devoted to XML integration. You will also find a lot of information about Common Language Runtime (CLR) Integration, the ability to develop database objects using any .NET language.

Other object models and services are also covered: data transformation services, server management objects, native HTTP SOAP, notification services and reporting services. You will also find out about the SQL Server Service Broker, distributed asynchronous application framework for new levels of scalability.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, or your time, Jan 31 2006
By Gregory S. Ramey - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Introducing Microsoft SQL Server(tm) 2005 for Developers (Paperback)
From Esposito, Prosise, Richter, Balena...Since the days when MFC was new, I've grown to trust the Wintellect authors and learned to look forward to their take on the Microsoft products. Microsoft and Wintellect really dropped the ball on this one. Scattered Logic, Examples which don't work, lack of focus, where should I begin?

How about with the title. I don't know who the intended audience was...certainly not developers. Maybe purchasing departments? I found Mr. Debetta's writing style quite arrogant and it interfered significantly with any points he may have been trying to get accross. Rather than an introduction, I found it to be little more than an extended advertisement.

Mr. DeBetta clearly has a passion for XML. However, XML is just a small part of a developer's interest. Maybe next time he will step back and think about what developer's are looking for. Those of us out in the field trying to stay abreast of new technologies. We are NOT looking for ads, we ARE looking for solid leads on where to take our products. This book does not suffice.

I feel I've wasted too much time on this book. Spending any more on this review seems an excess.
