Summary: Excellent book for beginners
Review: Thearon Willis does a great job again with this book. It is well laid out, the examples are detailed, practical and easy to follow. The coverage of all topics is very thorough. Book is definitely worth the money and more.

Summary: This book is great
Review: This book will help those who know a little to a fair amount of SQL. Use this and then Wrox's "Professional SQL Server 2000" to ready yourself for Microsoft's 70-229. The book is well written and holds your interest. This is THE book for VB programmers. I found a problem with trying to make one chapter's stored procedure work and Wrox's tech support responded in one day to my email to give me a solution (SET NOCOUNT ON). Highly recommended book.

Summary: Excellent introduction to SQL Server 2000 for VB Developers
Review: This is an excellent introduction to SQL Server 2000 for Visual Basic 6.0 developers. I used this book and Robert Vieira's Professional SQL Server 2000 Programming (Also by Wrox) to study for the Designing and Implementing Databases using Microsoft SQL Server 2000 exam (70-229). The 2 chapters on XML were especially good. Thearon does his best work when he works solo and this book is one of his best. I have his SQL Server 7 book and both books are well-written. I really like the "Hardware Tracking" tutorial that he follows for most of the book. This tutorial will also help with your Visual Basic skills. I have learned several new VB tricks just by following along. I hope that Thearon writes a Beginning SQL Server 2000 for Visual Basic.Net Developers.
