Negative Positive
Title: Does not cover recent versions of the product
Review: If you want a book that focuses on Transact-SQL as it existed in Sybase/MS SQL Server 4.2, get this book. Otherwise, skip it. The techniques shown herein are obsolete and arcane. Many of the example queries no longer work on SQL Server 7.0 or 2000. Also, many of the coding practices are ill-advised. Save your money and get a more up-to-date book.
