Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Programming Step By Step

Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: When I first started to read this book, I wanted to learn more about SQL, but this book failed. As the title says, it's pretty much just a bunch of step-by-step exercises and screen shots, but doesn't really get into too much detail, or give any reasons or explanation.

The only reason why I am writing a review now is that I now have something to compare this book against.

If you want a great book on SQL programming, I suggest you pick up "Profession SQL Server 2000 Programming" by Robert Vieira (Wrox Press), which is a great book even for novices.

IF you really want to buy this book, I have a copy that I'd be willing to let go for dirt cheap.
