Does anyone know any good book(s) about MS-SQL, especially about
Replication - basically, I need in-depth explanation about how to
setup/maintain Snap Shot, Transactional, Merge Replication and
different agents - with good examples? Hopefully, the book(s) is
recent enough to cover SQLCE merge replication as well. In-depth
information about DTS is a plus ^_^
Just tired of print hundreds of pages from MSDN site.
hello i am just starting to learn sql and know the basics, but now im looking for a good book to learn some more. A book that covers stored procedure would be very useful. If possible a book with q and a would be very good because i feel this tests if u understand what was just explaned. but if there is a good book without this it is ok. All sugestions welcome
I've been a SQL Server dba for 5 or 6 years now. With the upcoming release (eventually, I'm sure) of Yukon/SQL2005, I've read that it's important for DBA's to pick up one of the .NET languages - I've figured, I'll try to learn VB.NET - I've had a little exposure to it, and can usually figure out what's going on in VB code I've read - however, I seriously doubt I could write anything in it from scratch - I want to learn it in a bad way - can you all recommend any self-paced books that will walk me thru it? I've never had any formal training with it, don't know a class from a DLL....Thanks in advance for your help!!
hello, for a new job i might have to learn SQL. i've neverworked with databases or SQL, so i'll need to learn. cananybody advice me on what would be a good book to learnfrom? i'm quite an experienced programmer, so it doesn'thave to be a dummies guide, and preferably not a bulky booklike the "SQL bible" or something.oh, one of my 'favourite' computer books of all times is"thinking in Java" by bruce eckel, to give you an idea.mike--not sure if there's a better group to ask these questions
I'm looking to buy a book about SQL, T-SQL, stored procedures, etc. I'm a web developer, so I don't need a book for a SQL Server administrator. I need a book that tells me what I as a developer need to know about SQL. I'm currently using Visual Studio, SQL Server 2005, ASP.NET 2.0, and VB.NET (and fairly new to all of those) if that makes any difference. The bulk of my web developing experience has been with PHP and MySQL so this is new territory for me. I hope all that makes sense. I would appreciate any suggestions for such a book. Thanks! -Mathminded p.s. I bought a bunch of Wrox books and haven't had them long enough to decide if I like them: "Professional ASP.NET 2.0", "Professional ASP.NET 2.0 Security, Membership, and Role Management", "ASP.NET 2.0 Website Programming", and "Visual Basic 2005". I thought I'd check with the experts before investing in another book. :-)
I am new to SQL2005 and have been given the task of writing some SSIS packages to import some CSV files. I need to cleans the data as it is imported from my CSV files before it reaches my SQL DB. I am currently Googling the internet to discover how to do this. Can anyone recommend a good SSIS book? I am a C# developer, so a book that has lots of SSIS C# examples would be good. Any help appreciated. Regards, Paul.
Anyone know a good book on SSIS. I need a good beginer book on SSIS 2005 I am very interested in using it for capturing data from other database and loading that data into the database that I'm working on . Weather it be from another database, textfiles, spread sheets. Any suggestion.
Hi does anyone know of a good book that has all the t-sql keywords and functions in?? Or a webiste that has a printable version with explanations. I knows its on msdn but its very hard to print it all off.

Dear Friends, please suggest me the best book to gain sound knowledge in DBA concepts as well as writing in sub queries, complex queries as well as inner queries.
ive been learning through books online, but i just find learning from a book is better for me. have any of you bought books on integration services and if so , would you recommend them?
Though I have been using SQL Server for some years, it is just recently that I have need to learn how to write SP's. I would like a recommendation for a book that is rich with examples (my best learning style).
For those of us struggling with DTS, you've probably all seen Professional SQL Server 2000 DTS Mark Chaffin, Brian Knight, and Todd Robinson WROX ISBN 1-861004-41-9
This is brand new: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 DTS Timothy Peterson SAMS ISBN 0-672-32011-8
I have both and they're both worth owning.
I also just found a reference to the following, but I haven't seen it so I count vouch for it. (I also wonder why I haven't stumbled across it previously...) Professional SQL Server 7.0 Development Using SQL-DMO, SQL-NA and DTS Frank Miller & Rachelle Reese WROX ISBN 1861002807
I really like to pass my books on, for small price to anyone who could use them, since I no longer need 'em. I've got one , the SQL 2000 Administrator's Companion. Please take a look, I put it on ebay:
Ok, look. I could sit here and ask about 1,000 different queries that I would like to have. I'd much rather prefer to find it on my own however. Could someone please recommend a book that will tell me all I need to know about performing different kinds of queries? I have limited Mysql, JavaDB experience. A beginner compared to most of you. Thx in advance for any replies.
Hi, Can you recommend a book on SSIS. I am particularly interested in books which demonstrate a particular project from start to finish while going through chapters. Thanks

I'm looking for a good book to teach me the basics of SQL Server DBA - installing, daily routine tasks, basic best practices, etc. I'm a DBA newbie so I want beginning level.
