This has replaced 'Transact-SQL' as my favourite SQL Server book. Written by a programmer for a programmer. This is probably one of very few 1000+ pages non-reference technical books where 1000+ pages is just about the right size. He doesn't pad, talks down or preaches (too much) but gives quite a lot of good practical advise. I would normally be happy if I found 40% of a technical book useful, in this case I would probably read the whole book again just because ...I want more.
