Title: Terrible, just terrible
Product review: This book is beneath publication. They have used heavy paper to lengthen what is essential a reprint of the Books Online. There's nothing here that you can't get in SQL Server's BOL. There are also numerous errors. There's also a real absence of SQL Server 2000 coverage. The book looks like a printed version of the SQL Server 7.0 BOL with all the 7.0 references changed to 2000. For example, there's no mention of the new identity scoping variables and no mention of the new rowversion data type -- things that definitely ought to be in a book like this.
