A Special Thank you

I want to thank Brett Kaiser and Pat Phelan for advising me to get the "The Guru's Guide to Transcact-SQL" HOLY MOLY what an awesome book and the software that comes with it is so awesome "Sequin". This book is better then any of the Microsoft books, it breaks it all down for you and doesnt make it too difficult to understand I stayed up late last night reading this book. (which is why I'm exhausted today). This is by far the best Transact-SQL book I have ever come across.

THANKS GUYS :):):)I'm Blushing...

:p

You should also pick up ADMIN911 for SQL Server 2000 by Brian Knight

It's more of an administrators guide, but it's got lots of good stuff about security, performance, ect...mine is very dog eared|||Hey Brett...can I have your copy? ;) Apparently it's outta print, and the dude that has his listed for $80 on Amazon wants his copy more than I do... :rolleyes:

I wonder if they'll come out with another version...have you (or anyone else) heard such a thing?|||I'd really rather have Brian's SQL Server 2000 for Experienceed DBAs (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=6921cRQAhW&isbn=0072227885&itm=3) instead. I think that it is more current, and includes additional material.

-PatP|||THANKS GUYS :):):)Great zot! A lady that gets giddy reading tech. Why the heck couldn't I find any girls like that ?!?!

Then again, I shouldn't really complain... My girlfriend is nearly as geeky as I am, just in different areas (she does infrastructure and Citrix).

-PatP|||Just added both to my bookshelf on safari.|||I'd really rather have Brian's SQL Server 2000 for Experienceed DBAs (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=6921cRQAhW&isbn=0072227885&itm=3) instead. I think that it is more current, and includes additional material.

Looks good...why do you say more current though...|||My first reason for thinking SQL Server 2000 for Experienceed DBAs is more current than Admin911: SQL Server 2000 is some of Brian's own comments about it... I didn't have any reason to question his comment.

-PatP|||Such as? At the library right now...damn if they don't have any tech books...

And I'd just as soon own my own copy...

Does Brian Speak?
