Title: Disappointing
Review: I am extremely disappointed by a book which is disorganized, has uncreative examples and very little added value and does not use typography and layout to it's best advantages.While introducing a subject, the book is full of "we'll see this later" and "as i mentioned earlier", the flow of information is unstructured and unsatisfying.Each example in a book should illustrate a point and help people understand. Here absolutely no effort is done to look for real-life example or to make them interesting. The most interesting ones are copies from sqlbol. Many do not illustrate anything at all as do the author recognize in the text ("Of course in practice you don't need dynamic sql at all in such a situation..."). What a change from Joe Celko.The few pieces of information that are original and interesting are generally completely hidden in the text/layout, which will make it very hard to find it again some time later. Why not use more bold, italics and so forth?
