Title: Dated and sloppily thrown together
Review: I didn't get much use from this book for the following reasons:+The code is quite dated. It looks like old Sybase code for the most part.+The distinction between Sybase code and Microsoft code is often blurred, making it impossible to tell which code runs on which platform.+The text is generally hard to read and disorganized. I don't think the narrative flows logically.FWIW, a far better T-SQL book is Henderson's The Guru's Guide to Transact-SQL. First and foremost, it's a great coder's book, something Klein and company could really learn from.
