Intro to SQL Server book recommendation

  • I am looking for a recommendation on an intro to SQL Server 2005 books. I have purchased the Developer’s edition and going to try to play around and get a hands-on feel. I am hoping some of you may have some insight on a good book to start with. Thank you for your help. Any suggestions would be appreciated! 🙂

  • Try Kalen Delaney's

    Inside SQL Server 2005

    and Ken Henderson (rest his soul) Guru's series

  • Ah, thank you for the link, GSquared. After following your link, I actually ran into another website “simple-talk” and saw your post on recommending 2005 bible by Paul Nielsen. With SQL Server being such a large platform it is a bit intimidating on knowing where to start. Hopefully the insight from these books and others will help. 😀
