What SQL Server Books Do You Recommend
-
I have read several books on SQL Server.
I would recommend that a newbie reads books in the following order -
1. Starter - Murach's SQL Server 2008 for developers.
2. Refresher - Itzik Ben Gan's - T-SQL Fundamentals
3. Getting better level... - Ben Gan's Inside T-SQL Querying
4. Still better level - Ben Gan's Inside T-SQL Programming
5. Tuning - SQL Server 2008 Query Performance Tuning by Grant Fritchey.
6. Reference - T-SQL Recipes a problem solution approach - by Joseph Sack
7. Books On-line is great for the first help on any topic!

There are a number of books out there that are worth recommending. To simplify things, I just go straight to a reading list on Amazon provided by Robert Davis.
You can find the list here.

Some you can get significantly cheaper if you go for the 2nd hand version. I got both the mirroring and CLR for under $10 (excluding shipping)

I typically pick one or two off that list at a time and try to make my way through it. I haven't considered the second-hand book option for these though. I should do that.
Here is the second list I try to pick books off of from time to time.

I will recommend following books:
For Developer:
1. SQL Queries Joes 2 Pros Volume 1
2. Beginning SQL Joes 2 Pros Volume 1
For Administrators / Developers
1. Microsoft SQL 2008 R2 Unleased
2. Professional SQL Server 2008 Internals and Troubleshooting-- Though the book is not intended for beginners but I highly recommend for those who love to play with sql server.
