As one other poster suggested, sqlservercentral.com is probably your best shot for an online resournce. Bookwise, Kalen Delaney's Inside SQL Server 2000 is probably the most detailed MS-SQL book there is -- it digs into nitty-gritty details of the server (want to really understand optimization of queries -- this is your ticket). It does not, however, teach you much about T-SQL -- for that, I'd suggest Ken Henderson's Guru's Guide to T-SQL and the followup on Stored Procs. And as much as I like OReilly books -- I would *not* buy their T-SQL books. The Transact-SQL book was written in 1998/1999 and covers 6.5 w/ the new 7.0 features.... a little dated at best (though in fairness, ok for the basics). The T-SQL Cookbook has some cool tricks in it, but you've got to wade through some fairly henious writing. Both are on my shelf -- I know :) -- John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/Transitionpoint (blog) http://www.ashenfelter.com (email) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
