Pro SQL Server 2005 Assemblies provides a detailed and example-driven tutorial on how to build and use .NET assemblies. The authors focus on building assemblies in C#, but also provide the equivalent VB .NET code in the supplied code download. Assemblies are not a complete replacement for T-SQL stored procedures and triggers; rather, they're enhancements, to be used at the right place and right time. This book examines the ins and outs of assemblies--when they should and should not be used, what you can do with them, and how you can get the most out of them. The main aim of this book is to show you each of the different types of .NET assemblies now possible within SQL Server 2005. This is a major leap in technology for developers and database administrators alike. Knowing when, how, and why to use this technology is crucial in continuing to offer stable and efficient database servers and database solutions.

The ability to run .NET code in the database is arguably the most exciting development in SQL Server for years. Traditionally, if T-SQL did not meet your needs, then you could write the required logic in either an external business object or an extended stored procedure. With the former, you could often generate unnecessary network tr Read more...

Product Description
Anyone who interacts with today's modern databases needs to know SQL (Structured Query Language), the standard language for generating, manipulating, and retrieving database information. In recent years, the dramatic rise in the popularity of relational databases and multi-user databases has fueled a healthy demand for application developers and others who can write SQL code efficiently and correctly. If you're new to databases, or need a SQL refresher, "Learning SQL on SQL Server 2005" is an ideal step-by-step introduction to this database query tool, with everything you need for programming SQL using Microsoft's SQL Server 2005-one of the most powerful and popular database engines used today. Plenty of books explain database theory. This guide lets you apply the theory as you learn SQL. You don't need prior database knowledge, or even prior computer knowledge.

Based on a popular university-level course designed by authors Sikha Saha Bagui and Richard Walsh Earp, "Learning SQL on SQL Server 2005" starts with very simple SQL concepts, and slowly builds into more complex query development. Every topic, concept, and idea comes with examples of code and output, along with exercises to help you gain proficiency in SQL and SQL Server 2005. With this book, you'll learn:

Beginning SQL commands, such as how and where to type an SQL query, and how to create, populate, alter and delete tables

How to customize SQL Server 2005's settings and about SQL Server 2005's functions

About joins, a common database mechanism for combining tables

Query development, the use of views and other derived structures, and simple set operations

Subqueries, aggregate functions and correlatedsubqueries, as well as indexes and constraints that can be added to tables in SQL Server 2005

Whether you're an undergraduate computer science or MIS student, a self-learner who has access to the new Microsoft database, or work for your company's IT department, "Learning SQL on SQL Server 2005" will get you up to speed on SQL in no time.

Maintaining SQL Server 2005 high availability in a global information environment is the database administrator’s greatest practical challenge. Availability is as much about people and processes as it is about technology. Pro SQL Server 2005 High Availability covers the technology, people, processes, and real-world best practices for planning, deploying, administering, and maintaining highly available SQL Server 2005 instances.

With years of experience as a database consultant and production DBA, Allan Hirt provides in-depth, detailed advice on what it takes to ensure SQL Server high availability for businesses of any size. This is not an academic text; it’s not based on lab experiments, but on real-world experience. This book is a dramatic update and revision of the author’s previous best-seller on SQL Server 2000. It gives sound guidance to DBAs and system administrators on how to really get the job done.

Unless you are working at a very advanced level, this is the only SQL book you will ever need. The authors have taken the mystery out of complex queries and explained principles and techniques with such clarity that a “Mere Mortal” will indeed be empowered to perform the superhuman. Do not walk past this book!
–Graham Mandeno, Database Consultant

SQL Queries for Mere Mortals provides a step-by-step, easy-to-read introduction to writing SQL queries. It includes hundreds of examples with detailed explanations. This book provides the tools you need to understand, modify, and create SQL queries
–Keith W. Hare, Convenor, ISO/IEC JTC1 SC32 WG3–the International SQL Standards Committee

I learned SQL primarily from the first edition of this book, and I am pleased to see a second edition of this book so that others can continue to benefit from its organized presentation of the language. Starting from how to design your tables so that SQL can be effective (a common problem for database beginners), and then continuing through the various aspects of SQL construction and capabilities, the reader can become a moderate expert upon completing the book and its samples. Learning how to convert a question in English into a meaningful SQL statement will greatly facilitate your mastery of the language. Numerous examples from real life will help you visualize how to use SQL to answer the questions about the data in your database. Just one of the “watch out for this trap” items will save you more than the cost of the book when you avoid that problem when writing your queries. I highly recommend this book if you want to tap the full potential of your database.
–Kenneth D. Snell, Ph.D., Database Designer/Programmer

I don’t think they do this in public schools any more, and it is a shame, but do you remember in the seventh and eighth grades when you learned to diagram a sentence? Those of you who do may no longer remember how you did it, but all of you do write better sentences because of it. John Viescas and Mike Hernandez must have remembered because they take everyday English queries and literally translate them into SQL. This is an important book for all database designers. It takes the complexity of mathematical Set Theory and of First Order Predicate Logic, as outlined in E. F. Codd’s original treatise on relational database design, and makes it easy for anyone to understand. If you want an elementary- through intermediate-level course on SQL, this is the one book that is a requirement, no matter how many others you buy.
–Arvin Meyer, MCP, MVP

Even in this day of wizards and code generators, successful database developers still require a sound knowledge of Structured Query Language (SQL, the standard language for communicating with most database systems). In this book, John and Mike do a marvelous job of making what’s usually a dry and difficult subject come alive, presenting the material with humor in a logical manner, with plenty of relevant examples. I would say that this book should feature prominently in the collection on the bookshelf of all serious developers, except that I’m sure it’ll get so much use that it won’t spend much time on the shelf!
– Doug Steele, Microsoft Access Developer and author

Over the last several decades, SQL has evolved from a language known only to computer specialists to a widely used international standard of the computer industry. The number of new applications deployed each year using SQL now totals in the millions. If you are accessing corporate information from the Internet or from an internal network, you are probably using SQL. This new edition of SQL Queries for Mere Mortals helps new users learn the foundations of SQL queries, and is an essential reference guide for intermediate and advanced users.

Although MySQL’s source code is open in the sense of being publicly available, it’s essentially closed to you if you don’t understand it. In this book, Sasha Pachev — a former member of the MySQL Development Team — provides a comprehensive tour of MySQL 5 that shows you how to figure out the inner workings of this powerful database. You’ll go right to heart of the database to learn how data structures and convenience functions operate, how to add new storage engines and configuration options, and much more.

The core of Understanding MySQL Internals begins with an Architecture Overview that provides a brief introduction of how the different components of MySQL work together. You then learn the steps for setting up a working compilable copy of the code that you can change and test at your pleasure. Other sections of the book cover:

Core server classes, structures, and API
The communication protocol between the client and the server
Configuration variables, the controls of the server; includes a tutorial on how to add your own
Thread-based request handling — understanding threads and how they are used in MySQL
An overview of MySQL storage engines

Relational databases hold data, right? They indeed do, but to think of a database as nothing more than a container for data is to miss out on the profound power that underlies relational technology. A far more powerful way of thinking lies in relational technology’s foundation in the mathematical disciplines of logic and set theory.

Databases contain truths or propositions describing some area of interest such as a business. Those truths are organized into sets. Operations from logic and set theory can be applied to existing sets of truths to derive new sets of truths. Applied Mathematics for Database Professionals introduces you to this way of thinking, to the logic and set theory that underlies relational database technology. All this may sound abstract now, but there are profound benefits from the deeper understanding you’ll gain from this book. You’ll learn to
Become a better database designer. You’ll make fewer mistakes, and your designs will be more flexible in response to changing data needs.
Use the expressive power of mathematics to precisely specify designs and business rules.
Communicate effectively about design using the universal language of mathematics.
Develop and write complex SQL statements with confidence.
Avoid pitfalls and problems from common relational bugaboos such as null values and duplicate rows.

multimedia system needs a mechanism to communicate with its environment, the Internet, clients, and applications. MPEG-7 provides a standard metadata format for global communication, but lacks the framework to let the various players in a system interact. MPEG-21 closes this gap by establishing an infrastructure for a distributed multimedia framework, allowing for the creation, modification, viewing, and communication of digital items among all participants within an MPEG-21 agreement.
