I use SQL on daily basis, but my official training in this technology is a bit dated. I selected this book for a private refresher course and it turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. Lot of information in this volume was already familiar to me, but a lot of blanks were also filled. Furthermore, I also learned a lot of new stuff specific to SQL Server 2005/2008.
