Reader Reviews:
Very misleading title! (6/6 people found this helpful)
I've just finished reading the "Development in SQL Server" section of this book (i.e. 40% of the total book).
I assumed the book related solely to SQL Server 2008. The book's introduction, forward, back cover content, and free downloadable chapter 1 led me to that belief.
However, the book relates to both 2005 and 2008, and frustratingly it typically does not say what features belong to which database version.
I wanted a book that showed me what was new in SQL Server 2008, I know what is in 2005, I have several books on it! I think the publishers etc have been very misleading with this book's title.
That said, the content of the book is very good.
The book is large (784 pages) and heavy. A book containing SQL Server 2008 only content would perhaps contain only 300 pages, and be more convenient to read and carry.
The book's real title is "Accelerated SQL Server 2005 and 2008"
