This review is from: Professional SQL Server 2005 XML (Paperback)

This was a very good book. It went indepth about xml and how to use it with the new sql server 2005 datatypes. He covers all aspects of xml in sql and how to best use them. Other major new features like using the clr in sql are also covered. I also liked the real world full examples the author provides.

3.0 out of 5 stars lazy edition, April 28 2008

By A. Hagshuri - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Professional SQL Server 2005 XML (Paperback)

I didn't read all of it but the code samples in the first 3 chapters has a terrible mismatch with variables names. Some of the chapter's paragraphs are repeating them self.
I got the feeling they get to rush in this edition.
But you should take into account that i'm very pedantic.
Search inside before you make your decision.

4.0 out of 5 stars You Need this Book, Jun 30 2006

By Mark Kelly - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Professional SQL Server 2005 XML (Paperback)

If you are considering using XML in SQL Server 2005, this book will pay for itself quickly. The clear examples of creating XML Schema collections, altering them, etc. are very helpful.

The only problem with this book is that SQL Server 2005 does not fully support XML Schemas. Because this book was written using a beta product (I believe) perhaps the author could not have know exactly how the final version would shake out. However, partial support of standards is important to any developer. You often find out only by trial and error what is supported and what isn't. The Wrox web site offers nothing of the kind for this book. So buy this book, but be aware if you are using complex XML Schemas there may be some surprises (e.g., notation not supported).
