Negative Positive
Title: Needs updating
Review: This book is at least two releases behind the product. Books like this have to track the product, they have to stay up to date. There's no SQL Server 2000 coverage and very little 7.0 coverage (only an appendix - you can't cover the 6.5-to-7.0 differences in an appendix - too much changed!) And even the 6.5 examples are often very dated (old-style joins abound, for example). The book needs a good updating and some better proofreading. I was really disappointed in it.
Is the review positive or negative?
