Title: Out-moded, out-of-date, and out-done
Review: This book should cover 7.0 in depth, but doesn't. It focuses on old versions only. Also, the techniques it demonstrates have been deprecated for years. Old-style outer joins have been passe since Inside SQL Server 6.5 came out (and even before). Last, there are T-SQL books out there that put this one to shame. I especially like The Guru's Guide to Transact-SQL.
