Summary: Typical Wrox treatment of the subject
Comment: One of the skimpiest of the books dedicated to SQL Server sprocs, it's also among the most lightweight in terms of its content, unfortunately. There are numerous minor digressions in coverage -- like using SQL's mail sending functionality -- that really belong in a more general purpose SQL book than this one. It also doesn't delve into a whole lot of detail on any one aspect of its coverage.
That said, it does covers all the basics you need to get up-to-speed on stored procedures. It's also well written and easy to read, without too much technospeak (which is not always true of other similar titles). But like most Wrox books, its index is thin and barely usable. (When, oh when, will Wrox learn how to index a book?)
This is definitely not my favorite SQL Server sproc book, but for someone new to the subject, it still deserves the four stars I gave it.

Summary: Points you in the right direction and lets you go for it.
Comment: This is an excellent book! It points you in the right direction and lets you go for it. I found the advice given in book invaluable. It was to the point - clear and consise. Often the larger 1000 page books tend to waffle but at 260 pages this is an easy read. It provides a great foundation to build a solid SQL Server application using Stored Procedures. I recommend it to anyone who is wanting to get an birdseye view of SQL Server Stored Procedures, and at the same time, learn about the intracacies of the feature rich application.
