SQL Server 2005, Microsoft's next-generation data management and analysis solution, represents a huge leap forward. It comes with a myriad of changes that deliver increased security, scalability, and power--making it the complete data package. Used properly, SQL Server 2005 can help organizations of all sizes meet their data challenges head on. Programming SQL Server 2005 from O'Reilly provides a practical look at this updated version of Microsoft's premier database product. It guides you through all the new features, explaining how they work and how to use them. The first half of the book examines the changes and new features of the SQL Server Engine itself. The second addresses the enhanced features and tools of the platform, including the new services blended into this popular version. Each chapter contains numerous code samples-written in C# and compiled using the Visual Studio 2005 development environment-that show you exactly how to program SQL Server 2005. Programming SQL Server 2005 can help you: - Build, deploy, and manage enterprise applications that are more secure, scalable, and reliable
- Maximize IT productivity by reducing the complexity of building, deploying, and managing database applications
- Share data across multiple platforms, applications, and devices to make it easier to connect internal and external systems
Because the goal of Programming SQL Server 2005 is to introduce all facets of Programming SQL Server 2005, it's beneficial to programmers of all levels. The book can be used as a primer by developers with little experience with SQL Server, as a ramp up to the new programming models for SQL Server 2005 for more experienced programmers, or as background and primer to specific concepts. Any IT professional who wants to learn about SQL Server 2005's comprehensive feature set, interoperability with existing systems, and automation of routine tasks will find the answers in this authoritative guide. |

Colophon The animal on the cover of Programming SQL Server 2005 is an arctic cod. The arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) can be found living in the icy waters off northern Russia, Greenland, Canada, and Alaska. It is smaller and thinner than its cousin, the Atlantic cod, and characterized by a deeply forked tail, projecting lower jaw, and the presence of a small-sized "whisker" or barbel beneath its jaw. Little is known about the life stages of young arctic cod as they are bred beneath layers of ice in autumn and winter off the coast of Canada, and from January to February off the coast of Russia. It is known that females can release between 9,000 to 21,000 eggs, which are then externally fertilized by the males with a milky substance called milt. Arctic cod become mature at three years and can measure as long as 15 inches but usually not longer than a foot. Weight is related to length with a 4-inch fish weighing less than an ounce and an 11-inch fish weighing over six ounces. The body size of the species decreases from north to south so that Arctic cod in northern waters appear larger than their southern family members. Arctic cod can be found near the surface waters or as deep as 2,953 feet. In open waters, arctic cod swim in schools, but closer to the surface, they tend to live in much smaller groups. They can be found living in narrow spaces of water called "water wedges" between layers of ice. The water wedges are inaccessible to larger predators such as seals. Adults have small scales and are brown-colored along their sides and back, with black spots. Fins are dark and nearly black in color, with a pale edge and a long pale line that runs along the side of the fish from head to tail. The arctic cod can live up to six years, and scientists can determine their age by counting the rings that appear in the ear bones of the creatures. Arctic cod consume mostly plankton, which are tiny marine plants and animals that float near the surface of ocean water. They are themselves an important part of the food chain, and narwhals, beluga whales, and seabirds such as murres depend on them as food. The cover image is from Wood's Animate Creation. The cover font is Adobe ITC Garamond. The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading font is Adobe Myriad Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont's TheSans Mono Condensed. |
