Get a detailed look at the internal architecture of T-SQL with this comprehensive programming reference. Database developers and administrators get best practices, expert techniques, and code samples to master the intricacies of this programming language—solving complex problems with real-world solutions. Discover how to: Work with T-SQL and CLR user-defined functions, stored procedures, and triggers. Handle transactions, concurrency, and error handling. Efficiently use temporary objects, including temporary tables, table variables, and table expressions. Evaluate when to use set-based programming techniques and when to use cursors. Work with dynamic SQL in an efficient and secure manner. Treat date- and time-related data in a robust manner. Develop CLR user-defined types and learn about temporal support in the relational model. Use XML and XQuery and implement a dynamic schema solution. Work with spatial data using the new geometry and geography types and spatial indexes. Track access and changes to data using extended events, SQL Server Audit, change tracking, and change data capture. Use Service Broker for controlled asynchronous processing in database applications. All the book’s code samples will be available for download from the companion Web site.

Provides detailed information about Transact-SQL programming and shows specific differences between the Microsoft and Sybase versions of the language.

Apply powerful window functions in T-SQL—and increase the performance and speed of your queries Optimize your queries—and obtain simple and elegant solutions to a variety of problems—using window functions in Transact-SQL. Led by T-SQL expert Itzik Ben-Gan, you’ll learn how to apply calculations against sets of rows in a flexible, clear, and efficient manner. Ideal whether you’re a database administrator or developer, this practical guide demonstrates ways to use more than a dozen T-SQL querying solutions to address common business tasks. Discover how to: Go beyond traditional query approaches to express set calculations more efficiently Delve into ordered set functions such as rank, distribution, and offset Implement hypothetical set and inverse distribution functions in standard SQL Use strategies for improving sequencing, paging, filtering, and pivoting Increase query speed using partitioning, ordering, and coverage indexing Apply new optimization iterators such as Window Spool Handle common issues such as running totals, intervals, medians, and gaps

Harness the power of SQL Server, Microsoft’s high-performance database and data analysis software package, by accesing everything you need to know in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Bible. Learn the best practices, tips, and tricks from this comprehensive tutorial and reference, which includes specific examples and sample code, with nearly every task demonstrated in both a graphical and SQL code method. Understand how to develop SQL Server databases and data connections, how to administer the SQL Server and keep databases performing optimally, and how to navigate all the new features of the 2008 release.

Create and modify databases and keep them secure Get up to speed on using T-SQL to store and manipulate data SQL Server 2005 improves an already great database management system. This book shows you how to put it to work in a hurry. You'll find out how to use the SQL Server Management Studio and the SQLCMD utility to write T-SQL code, retrieve data from single or multiple SQL Server tables, add data using the INSERT statement, and much more. * Create queries to retrieve data * Ensure SQL Server security * Use Visual Studio(r) 2005 with SQL Server * Create tables, views, and indexes * Work with Common Language Runtime * Query XML data

Demonstrates the SQL Server 2000 programming fundamentals, including database structures and TransactSQL.

Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system, developed by the company Microsoft. The development language used (by command line or through the Management Studio graphic interface) is Transact-SQL (TSQL), an implementation of the ANSI standard of the SQL language, used to manipulate and retrieve data (DML), create tables and define relationships between them (DDL). This book develops the design, management and administration of databases through the relational language TRANSACT SQL

If you've not programmed with Transact-SQL, this book is for you.It begins with an overview of SQL Server query operations and tools used with T-SQL, and covers both the 2005 and 2008 releases of SQL Server query tools and the query editor. The book then moves to show you how to design and build applications of increasing complexity. Other important tasks covered include full text indexing, optimizing query performance, and application design and security considerations. The companion website also provides all of the code examples from the book.

This book is one of the many sources that are spread outside to learn SQL and T-SQL programming in SQL Server databases that are compiled by focusing on the practice directly and based on the author's teaching experience during this time, so that readers are expected to better understand the concepts and practices of programming in SQL Server databases. By the time this book is written the SQL Server database has already reached version 2019, therefore this book is based on that version for use in Windows operating systems. Discussion in this book starts from the basic to intermediate level, so it is expected that after studying it the reader will have strong programming skills to build database solutions with SQL and TSQL in SQL Server. Hopefully this book can be another alternative as a learning resource for exercises, tutorials, or references for those who want to learn SQL and T-SQL programming in SQL Server database.

This book covers what Access developers need to know about SQL Server, covering the two most common versions of both products: Microsoft Access 97 and 2000 and Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 and 7. The author offers his own tips and techniques based on practical hands-on experience. The resulting book teaches developers how to accomplish their goal without over-simplifying the migration process. Further, it includes detailed information on how to work with SQL Server outside of the Access environment and how to design efficient SQL Server databases. It outlines the planning involved and helps developers make educated decisions along the way.
