Title: Programming Microsoft SQL Server 2000 With XML (Pro-Developer) by Graeme Malcolm ISBN: 0735613699 Publisher: Microsoft Press Pub. Date: June, 2001 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $59.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.17

Summary: Make sure you buy the 2nd Edition
Comment: Most of the reviews here seem to relate to the first edition (which was admittedly kind of short). The book has been updated, and the second edition covers new stuff like XSD Schemas, Diffgrams, SOAP Virtual Names, and all the other SQLXML 3.0 features. I found the book really useful, and easy to read. The examples are great and the concepts are all well explained. Definitely worth buying if you're planning to use SQL Server's XML functionality.

Summary: Good! And rapid.
Comment: I never expected so much useful information into such a small book. Good books don't sell by weight or page count.
I found this book concise and clear (this man knows how to teach). It sure doesn't explain everything about the subject, but it gives the big picture, with an impressive number of details too.
Ideal to start working in small time.
NOTE about who is this book for:
As title state, this book teaches how to use the XML features of SQL Server 2000, not how to use SQL2000, so if you don't know SQL Server you better read something else first.
From the XML XSL XPath X... side, this book is also for novices as it has a very good appendix that teaches all you need to understand the book.
Rating: 1
Summary: Pay first class fare, fly coach.
Comment: While the author does an OK job explaining the subject matter, I don't see why anyone should spend $60 on this tiny book when you can find other books that sell for the same price or less and cover XML and a lot more. Professional SQL Server 2000 Programming from Wrox has two very good chapters on XML in about 100 pages, and *1300* pages more covering just about everything else related to SQL Server, *all for the same price*. There are other books that concentrate on the XML part only and sell for $10-$15 less but I have not read them. And of course, there's always SQL Server Books Online, which is free if you already have SQL Server 2000 installed. If I pay first class fare, I expect the meal and the wine, not just the peanuts.
