Amazing in-depth overview of SQL2008 with some exposure of 2005 and also 2000.
You would never find anything of this grade anywhere else.
It's a must for anyone who dares calling themselves a worthy MS SQL specialist, be it DBA, SQL programmer, DWH specialist, or a BI developer dealing with RDB.

I started working with SQL Server in version 6.5, but it wasn't until several years later, when I had access to Kalen's "Inside SQL Server 2000" title, that I truly began to understand some of the core and fundamental concepts in how the engine works. She has continued this trend of providing books with more knowledge and examples than I can handle, but they have all helped me advance my understanding of SQL Server, and this in turn has paid huge dividends in several projects in my career. If you are going to get one SQL Server book to help you grasp the deep-down mechanics of SQL Server, this is the book you need.
