Kirk Haselden New Book
Jul 12, 2006
Any idea where the quickest place to get Kirk Haselden's new book will be. I've seen a few different dates for the relaase. Amazon has 7/21, but they have fooled me before, getting books to me much later than I could have gotten the elsewhere.
Is there anyone I can bribe to get it now?
I love IS - the complicated stuff is simple and intuitive but the details are driving me nuts. Constant little errors on data types and stuff without any documentation. I'm spending hours and hours figuring these things out by trial and error.
Also a thank you to Kirk for his posts to the forum. I've assembled them in a list and have been reading through them. Very helpful.

Hi everyone. This is my first post. I have been going through Kirk Haselden's book - teaching myself SSIS. I like it so far. I have a question about some language used by Kirk that I want to check with the community. He talks about "Data Flow Versus Workflow" in the book (see page 110 if you have the book) but I dont recall reading his definition of workflow? Is he just referiing to "control flow" as "workflow"? I cant think of what else he might mean by workflow.

Hello, I would love to know where people are discussing the book Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services book by Kirk Hasleden.
I'm on page 41 and I'm getting an error with the example in the "SELECT "2004" FROM Sales.vSalesPersonSalesByFiscalYears"
part because there is not a table called Sales.vSalesPersonSalesByFiscalYears in the AdventureWorks database.
Thank youo

I am currently redirecting lookup failures into error tables with ErrorCode and ErrorColumn. It works fine until I want to transfer data into the archived database. The SSIS pacakage generate by SQL Exporting tool is throwing an "duplicate name of 'output column ErrorCode and ErrorColumn" error. This is caused by oledb source error output. The error output automatically add ErrorCode and ErrorColumn to the error output selection and not happy with it.
I think the question is down to "How to importing/exporting data when table contains ErrorCode or ErrorColumn column?"

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

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.

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

Hi All,
I am new to SQL Server but have been doing database programming since last 3 years. I recently attended MOC (Microsfot Official Curriculum) training on SQL Server and have started to use at my company. I am comfortable with SQL but want to dig deeper into T-SQL side. I searched on the Internet but not many good books available in that either they are ranked very low or are very old i.e. written around 1999/2000 or covers SQL Server 2000 as a whole. Can anybody suggest me any T-SQL book which was written recently and focuses purely or majorly on T-SQL?
Thanks to all for your time and advice in advance.
Regards:

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!!

Ok, let me start by saying that I already checked the FAQ. There was one link, but it just seemed to go to a review page with 5 books, with pretty specific themes. So I'm surprised that such a basic topic as book recommendations for SQL newbies wasn't covered.
In my case, I'm not a total newbie. I learned to write SQL queries for work on both Oracle and SQL Server, and I've gotten pretty good at all the basics. So I've got "SQL for Dummies" down cold, so to speak. Now I'm looking to take my query writing ability to the next level, which I guess would be the intermediate level. I'm also looking for books that are specific to just SQL Server, rather than the books about general querying on any DBMS. Speaking of which, just so you all know, "SAMS Teach Yourself SQL in 21 Days" is an Oracle book, no matter what it says on the cover.
It looks like the book "Inside Microsoft SQL Server 2005: T-SQL Querying" comes highly recommended, but I flipped through it on the shelf at a bookstore the other day, and I think it's over my head. It might be a good reference to have around, but I think I'd be totally lost trying to read it from cover to cover.
So does anyone have recommendations for books that go beyond "This is how to do a SELECT, and here's how to do a JOIN", but won't make my head explode?
Thanks in advance,
--Fromper

I do software support for software that works with both Oracle and SQLServer, so I mostly just write queries to look at the data related tothe software. When I first started, I bought a couple of books to learnthe basics, intentionally going with generic books that would help withboth types of databases. I've got the basics down, and now I'm lookingfor a really detailed reference book that goes really indepth intoquerying for SQL Server specifically. Currently, we only work with the2000 version, but we'll be going to 2005 soon, so I think I'd rather gowith a book on 2005, although if you know one that covers thedifferences between them, that would be great. Any recommendations?Besides just writing queries, I'd also like to learn more about SQLServer in general. DBA software support, so I'd like to head mycareer in that direction. I was looking at Microsoft's newcertification path for SQL 2005. Given that my company won't pay tosend me for training, and I really don't want to have to put down$2200+ to pay for a class, I was thinking that I might be able to learnenough on my own to pass the first test and get the MCTS title. Iordered the Training Kit from Microsoft Press for that, which comeswith a 180 day trial of SQL Server 2005 to play with, along with a hugebook. Does anyone have any other recommendations for resources to helplearn this stuff?--Richard
