Hi. Can anyone provide names of their favorite (most
usefull/thorough/easy-to-understand), one-volume, SQL Server 2005 reference
books (or point me to such information)?

Thank you.

Personaly, I find that Books on Line is still my main point of
reference after doing this for 8 years. Hilary Cotter has the only
additional book that I have, on replication.

I found these two to be worth the effort (in that class of
"usefull/thorough/easy-to-understand".)

Hi Neil

In general one book will not really cover the whole of SQL 2005, if you want
an introduction to what is new then I like Pro SQL Server 2005 by Thomas
Rizzo et al. ISBN 1590594770. If you want to look into more depth I would
recommend the books in the "Inside SQL Server 2005" series
T-SQL Programming by Itzik Ben-Gan ISBN 0735621977
T-SQL Querying by Itzik Ben-Gan ISBN 0735623139
The Storage Engine by Kalen Delaney ISBN 0735621055
