[dba-SQLServer]Stored Procedures Book Recommendations

Mark,

At the end of 2001 I purchased this book - Advanced Transact-SQL for SQL Server 2000.
It's full of algorithms that I'd have to spend hours to come up on my own.  I don't know what Amazon reviews are (I always found them being questionable), but IMHO this book is worth the money.

MessageHello Robert,

I have had a look at the reviews on Amazon.Co.Uk and they are mixed, the book costs GBP£43 which is €64 for me, have you found his books to be good or brilliant?

I am looking for something that will give me new ideas on how to use SQL to the max (so to speak).  

Sometimes I find that there are ways of doing things that we never think of and when we read a book that outlines we can use the technique every day from there on, I guess that is what I am looking for,  

Kenneth, did you get around to purchasing a book?, if so, how did you get on with it.

Thanks in advance for your time,

Mark

   anything written by Itzik Ben-Gan will do it. (Advanced Transact-SQL for SQL Server 2000)

    Everyone, 

    I am starting to get into some quite complicated stored procedure development, and was wondering if anyone here had any recommendations for a good reference book on the subject.

    Thanks.
