Title: Lots of info, much of it outmoded or obsolete
Review: This book really needs an update. Against some of the more recent SQL Server-oriented books, it looks like it needs about a pound of wrinkle cream.A lot of things changed with 7.0 and this book hasn't kept up with those changes. Much of the sample code doesn't work with 7.0. I sense that the book was written while 7.0 was still in beta, because it's obviously targeted at 6.5. Many of the statements regarding server internals are simply no longer accurate and many of the coding techniques were outmoded even for 6.5. I'm still looking for the ultimate modern T-SQL guide.
