Review: This book is for .NET and SQL Server developers who work with databases and data access, at the business logic/middle-tier layer as well as the application level. It aims to provide practical information, numerous useful examples, and a combination of high-level coverage and detailed discussion of most of the product’s features. The book is divided into three parts, each following a specific theme. The first looks at topics relevant to work on the database server (creation, management, maintenance of entities etc.); database design; T-SQL programming of views, stored procedures, triggers and functions; and security-related entities. Part 2 discusses concepts actually related to database software development and topics relevant to extending your database’s reach with technologies such as HTTP endpoints, SQL Server Service Broker, SQL Server Notification services, SQL Server Express edition and SQL Server Everywhere edition. The last part deals with reporting and business intelligence, providing practical information on SQL Server Integration services, Analysis Services and Reporting Services.
