Read to help me at work. Being self-taught this was a very nice to have an introduction book like this. I have used SQL Server 2012 to create a database including Database Diagrams, Tables, and all the parts of the table. But I never received knowledge on every aspect of it. This book laid out the information very well and had good examples. Also included benefits of one versus the other when there were more than on way of doing a task. Very good beginner - intermediate book.

Very cursory introduction to SQL Server. It will be a good reference book for actual DBAs.
