Summary: A solid begining to using Transact SQL
Comment: I knew absolutely no T-SQL before reading this book. It did a solid job of covering the basics aspects of T-SQL necessary to write Stored Procedures. The main reason I did not give it 5 stars is that it missed some important, but to my mind, basic aspects of SQL programming. For example, how do you program an SP to check for a version of itself and drop it before creating itself again. If you don't run this check, you will end up with some ugly errors.
However, I would strongly recommend this book for anyone with no T-SQL experience.

Summary: decent place to start, but.....
Comment: This book is good for the absolute beginner to TSQL (or SQL). But there are several glaring omissions in this book. How can you leave out ALTER TABLE in a SQL book? I am still miffed by that. If you are serious about SQL, do not use this book as a "reference"; rather, use it as an introduction. And it is an excellent INTRODUCTION, suited to the complete novice. But after you graduate from this book, go buy "Inside Microsoft SQL Server 6.5" by Ron Soukup - which is the best book I have read on the subject (if you're using MS SQL server, that is..)
All in all, "Teach yourself tsql" is worth the money - but as you learn more you will say to yourself, "Why wasn't that in the book?"
Rating: 5
Summary: GREAT for the layperson! :-)
Comment: As a relatively new database administrator with no SQL experience, this book was EXACTLY what I needed. It is written in an easy-to-read and easily comprehended style. It takes me everywhere I need to go with confidence that the code I now write will perform the necessary functions...and perform them efficiently and effectively. Thank you, Sam!
