I strongly recommend this book to anyone wanting a better understanding of SQL server 2005. I have read several books in this series, they are all good, but this is the best by far. It starts by discussing the logical processing of query, which is very important for understand how to write effective queries. It then discusses how to evaluate your queries, it discusses indexes in extensive detail - to the point that you will understand how to they work and how to make effective indexes. It explains many of the new T-SQL features, and how to use them in real life scenarios. However, note that this is not a T-SQL reference guide. Books online serves that purpose. This is a MUST HAVE for my team.

I found the book "Inside Microsoft SQL Server 2005: T-SQL Querying" a very good guide to the in's and out's of SQL querying from the standpoint of a student, but, the way the book is written, it does not "low-brow" anyone more experienced. It is just the sort of book that would appeal and enlighten anyone who is willing to put the print to work and develop bona fide, time-tested expertise in querying Microsoft SQL Server 2005. In other words, it is an investment in knowledge that pays big dividends.

I think it is a great book to learn T-SQL. You always learn something new on each chapter. I am a software programmer, not a DBA. I have some knowledge of T-SQL, but this book is great. It shows you T-SQL in a very simple way, and the new features added to T-SQL in SQL Server 2005 .
