Introduction

Working with SQL Server on project after project, I find myself solving the same types of problems again and again. The solutions differ slightly from case to case, but they often share something in commoncode patterns, logical processes, or general techniques. Every time I work on a customer's software, I feel like I'm building on what I've done before, creating a greater set of tools that I can apply to the next project and the next after that. Whenever I start feeling like I've gained mastery in some area, I'll suddenly learn a new trick and realize that I really don't know anything at alland that's part of the fun of working with such a large, flexible product as SQL Server.
