I have finished these cover to cover and now need new reading material. Any suggestions? Any good SSRS books out there? I am a Report Developer if that helps.
Would Grants Query Tuning book be good for me as a Report Writer or is this mainly aimed at DBA's? http://www.amazon.com/Server-Query-Performance-Tuning-Experts/dp/1430242035/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1403877309&sr=1-1&keywords=grant+fritchey

Performance tuning is good for everybody. Though there are other things to consider when looking to tune reports besides just the tsql.
I would also recommend my book 😉

Oh and FWIW - I am sure Grant will autograph the book. You see him doing that sort of thing at all sorts of events.

Nice! SQLRNNR thanks for the recommendations. I know it says its for 2012. So its probably got a lot of the new 2012 functions in there, but by chance do some of your recipe's work for 2008? Also would you be willing to autograph a copy? I'm a nerd.

Many of the recipes work on 2008. There is some functionality that did not change with the 2012 release.
And yes, if we cross paths I can autograph it.

I purchased Grant's book "SQL Server 2008 Query Performance Tuning Distilled" and liked it.
June 27, 2014 at 10:55 am
I'm getting that as well I actually decided to do both those and another one I stumbled on. So I will have 3 new books that should keep me busy for awhile. I see books as great investments:-)

If you're interested in query tuning, you might want to hold off purchasing a little while. I should have my 2014 update of the query tuning book done within a couple of weeks. It's completely restructured so it should be more readable. Plus all new material on bad parameter sniffing, in-memory oltp, cardinality estimation and natively compiled procedures.

You're doing it wrong, you're supposed to let him buy the old one, then tell him how much better the new one is, and give him a discount. Or tell him support for the old version has been discontinued, and he must upgrade in order to receive his premium autographed copy.
or something like that.

Behave like Microsoft you mean? But I work for Red Gate. We're a nice evil profit seeking corporation.

Haha, I'd probably do it too! I will wait on the new one. I'll read the other two I got while waiting. Love my SQl books. So far one of my favorites is Itzik Ben-Gan's T-SQl Fundamentals though sometimes his writing can be hard to read. I have had many aha moments while drinking my coffee and turning the pages.
@Grant is it available for preorder or wish list?
