Murach's SQL Server 2008 for Developers
This is one of the few SQL Server books I've ever seen that's written for developers instead of DBAs. Yet it covers information that makes any developer more valuable on the job. In fact, we've had developers with years of SQL experience tell us that they didn't realize all they were missing out on until they read our book.
Now, this 2008 edition has new material on 2008 features like FILESTREAM storage, new date/time data types, the MERGE statement, table-valued parameters for stored procedures and functions, SPARSE columns, and filtered indexes. But it's still filled with proven material on all types of querying, the Management Studio, stored procedures, functions, triggers, scripts, locking, XML, CLR integration, the basics of database design and implementation…the material that helps you teach your trainees to develop efficient and effective database applications.
Training aids available in the book itself: Practice exercises
