Murach's SQL for SQL Server

Unlike most SQL books, this one starts by showing how to use SQL queries to get the data from an existing database because that is what every reader needs to know. Once that is established, the book presents the design and backend skills that database administrators need to know. The result is a great book for anyone who works with Microsoft SQL Server. The included CD has everything you need: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine; Client tools for SQL Server; Database that is used for the book examples; Selected book examples so you can run them on your own PC.
