By the way these are all T_SQL specific books, if you are looking for ANSI
SQL get one of Joe Celko's SQL books
Joe Celko's SQL for Smarties
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/A...link%5Fcode=xm2
If you are a complete beginnner this is a good book

Madhivanan|||Advanced Transact-SQL for SQL Server 2000
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...=books&n=507846>
by Itzik Ben-Gan & Tom Moreau is also an excellent book. And while
Inside Microsoft SQL Server 2000
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...711117?v=glance>
(Delaney) is perhaps the best book in its class (or perhaps tied with
Ken Henderson's Guru's Guide
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...g=UTF8&v=glance> ),
it's not really a "teach yourself T-SQL" type book but rather a "learn
everything there is to know about _SQL Server internals_".
Also, I came across this Amazon booklist by Fernando Guerrero
<http://www.solidqualitylearning.com...spx?source=S_FG> (SQL MVP &
one of the main SQL dudes at Solid Quality Learning) as I was looking up
the Amazon reference for Itzik & Tom's book:
Essential SQL Server Books
