This book is unbelievable! I had been looking for a book explaining stored procedures. I had bought four or five books on SQL Server but they turned out to be very disappointing: only one chapter on stored procedures and only examples that were less than convincing on the use of stored procedures.This book shows you real life examples where stored procedures are used. I understood right away what other authors were trying to explain.
Mr. Buczek's book consists of small but complete real life applications. By using complete projects, we understand how and why using stored procedures.
But the book is not only about stored procedures; using defined functions and triggers are also used.
What makes this book stand-out among other books on SQL Server, is the coupling of SQL Server with a user interface: each applications use an interface: some of Mr. Buczek applications use VB6, others use VB.Net (beta 1: at that time VB.Net beta 2 had not been launched), others use Access and others use ASP pages.
This is the book you need if you are tired, as I am, to throw your money through the windows by buying computing books that are written by people who should never have written books at all.
As far as I am concerned, Mr. Buczek is the only person who desserves the right to write computer books. He is the only one who knows what he is doing.
