A masterful book written by a master coder
Words can't begin to express what this book has meant to me. I am a developer who came to Sql Server late in life after a career writing COBOL, then DBase/Clipper, then FoxPro. I've watched the industry change, but have never really had the handle on all of it that this guy does. The book is ingenious. It takes Transact-Sql and gives it the hardcore language treatment. No one has ever done that before. I have all the other T-Sql books and, with the exception of Henderson's previous book, none come close to this one. You take Henderson's two Sql Server books and you have all you need to master Sql Server's programming language, Transact-Sql. Who talks about version control with Transact-Sql? Henderson does. Who gets into design patterns in stored procedures? Henderson does. Who discusses testing at length in an Sql book? Henderson does. Who shows how to add useful features to the language such as native array handling? Henderson does. Who would dare discuss how .NET relates to T-Sql development? Henderson does. Who talks about how eXtreme Programming applies to T-Sql developers? You know the answer. This is THE book to have if you want to master the T-Sql language.

Just what the dr. ordered
I was really struggling with xml and sql server until I found this book. This book pulled it all together for me. It's worth the money for that alone.

The xml intro chapter is the most to the point tutorial on xml I've found even in whole books on the subject.

If you add to this the fact that stored procedure programming is drilled into as are several other relevant topics you have a book that every sql person should read.

I also really enjoyed the essays at the end of the book. Very good stuff that I've read more than once. Not specifically related to sql server but still good reads.

Expert SQLXML book
I bought this to get familiar with the XML features in SQL SERVER. I was not disappointed. I especially liked the starter chapter on the XML language. I was already pretty good with XML before I read this book but I still learned several things about the language itself that I didn't know.

Beyond this the SQLXML chapters are simply great. Each one tackles a different part of SQL SERVER'S XML features and takes the discussion from very basic stuff to advanced features. You learn gradually and systematically. I felt like I had my own personal SQLXML tutor. It's the best instruction I have seen in a computer book in a long time.
