Negative Positive
Title: Completely lacking in current techniques and examples
Review: This book ought to cover SQL 7.0 in some detail, especially with SQL 2000 about to come out. It doesn't. I was really disappointed with the old-style joins (a big no-no) and the queries against system tables that no longer exist. Also, the prose itself is pretty weak. It's boring and reads like a text book.
Is the review positive or negative?
