Don't see it on the McGraw Hill site either. My guess is that it's been delayed. I'd email the publisher.

Maybe it's getting updated for 2008. 2005 is getting just a tad long in the tooth at this point. I might suggest an alternative

LOL, nice reference, Grant. Grant's book is pretty good, as is the one he wrote on Execution Plans.

I think Jason was kidding on that one. But hey, the more posts with my book in them, the better.

It is an honor to me you guys are answering my question...

I have bought your book, Grant (along with others on internals, troubleshooting & optimization topics).

I am very interested on this topics (especially on optimization), each book brings new perspectives & ideas.

Thank you!

Let us know if it helps. I'm sure Grant would love feedback, especially as he prepares to update it for the next version of SQL Server.

Grant Fritchey SSC Guru Points: 398890 More actions · Answer 10

Yeah, I absolutely want to know if you find it helpful, please.

I'm not planning on a release for the R2 version of 2008, but I'll absolutely update it for the 2010 release.

Of course it helps! My favorite chapters are those on SQL Query Performance, Indexes, Statistics, Query Design and Blocking.

And the last chapter (the checklist) should be on the desk of any SQL Server DBA or Developer.

I suppose a new book on R2 doesn't make any sense (as far as I know the news are only in SSIS /SSRS / SSAS) and I don't know anything about the next SQL Server release (not even the year - 2010, 2011, 2012???) but the decision of a new edition of the book belongs to the authors.

Not just the authors. The publishing company also has a big say. I might get a call that they want to do an R2 version of the book. If they do, I'll sign on & do it because otherwise, they'll get another author and I'll lose control of the book.
