Title: In your best interest to look elsewhere...
Product review: If you need a book about T-SQL, go on to the next one. T-SQL is the SQLServer backend workhorse language, but this book spends almost half the pages describing how to perform tasks using the SQLServer 7.0 GUI tools instead of T-SQL. I can't understand that in a book titled "TRANSACT-SQL". Beyond that, if you want any sort of detailed understanding of the topics covered, you won't get it from this book. I would highly suggest the "Transact-SQL Programming" book from O'Reiley Press. That book gives you a complete discussion of T-SQL.
