Title: Not for beginners
Review: I'm an experienced Oracle programmer and have the task of learning SQL Server on my own to support a new customer. When learning something new, I like to start from the basic, fundamentals. This is a good book, but in my opinion, might be a bit advanced for someone never seen SQL. I like the book because I know what he's talking about, but if I was new to SQL, this book would frustrates me. In many of his examples, he starts with what would not work then show what would work. It's like teaching you the wrong way first before showing you the write way. It's a waste of time I think. I want to know what works and let me debug my mistake on my own. Or starts with what works first then let me decide if I want to read on with what does not work.Overall, I was able to learn from the book. It's good, not great.
