Query: Obsolete

I think this book should cover version 7.0 in depth, but it doesn't. It's like all the code was written before 7.0. Giving me old-type joins and queries that no longer work is no way to make me a fan of your work. Also, many of the topics covered are essoteric to a fault. Who cares about calling bcp.exe from Transact-SQL (especially when we have the BULK INSERT command in 7.0 now) ? I was really disappointed with this one. I don't think it's on par with the other O'Reilly titles.
