But, be warned this book is based on standard SQL so a lot of the examples
won't work or there are better ways of coding using some of the built-in
functions of SQL Server.
Check out some of Itzik-Ben Gan's books which are more appropriate to SQL
Server and contain far better and more scalable examples.
