SQL Server is very strong in the market place, supporting both small and large Internet sites. Large users include Merryl Lynch, DELL Computer and HarperCollins Publishers. Commercial applications running on SQL Server range in size from small databases such as Sales Logix, to large ERP systems such as SAP, where it is now the SAP "preferred" database for NT based installations. SQL Server is now first choice for the developer wanting a powerful, reliable and sophisticated database.

In addition to providing a thorough treatment of SQL Server 2000 development, Rob Vieira's extensive reference also devotes quite a lot of space to covering SQL in general and issues relating to database design. Included is a complete introduction to Transact-SQL and an excellent chapter on normalization that will help demystify an over-referenced but much misunderstood database design concept. There is also in-depth information on the new features of SQL Server 2000, including indexed views, user-defined functions, and support of XML. Sadly, there's no accompanying CD-ROM, but source code for the book can be downloaded from the Wrox Web site.
While you don't need any knowledge of SQL Server or database administration to make the most of this book, you will need a reasonable understanding of programming fundamentals. That said, the author's down-to-earth style makes it possible for anyone with some programming background, and the will to learn, to really get comfortable with SQL Server 2000 development. If you are looking for a book that combines rich content with clear explanation, look no further. --Peter Lunn, Amazon.co.uk
