Conclusion

This book explores the programmatic elements of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 with a focus on T-SQL, but it also covers other elements that have T-SQL interfaces, such as XML, .NET integration, and Service Broker. I’m assuming that you’ve already read my companion book to this one, Inside Microsoft SQL Server 2005: T-SQL Querying (Microsoft Press, 2006) or have equivalent querying and query-tuning background. For the sake of brevity, I will refer throughout this book to the T-SQL Querying volume as Inside T-SQL Querying.
