look at many aspects of using SQL Server. I can also recommend a
couple books more focused on t-sql:
SQL Server 200 Programming By Example - Guerrero & Rojas
The Guru's Guide to Transact-SQL - Henderson
Each has stuff not covered by the others (e.g. just discovered
how easy and powerful pivot tables can be in The Guru's Guide)
and between them (with BOL) I can pretty much always find a good
solution to whatever problem I'm facing.
