Review title: Confusing
Product review: This author often forgets who he is talking to. At one point he describes in painful detail on how to join tables and yet in other places he introduces terminology with no explanation. One chapter is devoted to creating a windows application in VS 2005 to display data and the description is incorrect. Is this a book about SQL Server or Visual Studio? I think the publishers of this book would do well to recall this book and rewrite with a particular audience in mind. Is the book an introduction for newbies or a reference for those coming from some other platform or for programmers looking to familiarize themselves with SQL Server? The fact that this is a dummies book would seem to indicate to me that it should be for newbies. I have always been a fan of the Dummies series of books but this one falls flat on its face.
