XML and SQL Server 2000
by John Griffin Paperback - 384 pages 1st edition (July 20, 2001) New Riders Publishing ISBN: 0735711127 Dimensions (in inches): 0.86 x 8.97 x 6.99 From the Back Cover: XML and SQL Server 2000 will enable SQL developers to understand and work with XML, the preferred technology for integrating eBusiness systems. This book will provide a comprehensive discussion of SQL Server 2000's XML capabilities. There is a brief discussion in the first two chapters on XSL/XSLT and DTD's targeted to database developers since most developers are new to this technology. From there numerous examples are discussed in the areas of IIS Directories, http, xml views and xml schemas, openxml, and much more.

Previous experience includes contract work for Sprint-Paranet of Houston, TX, systems administration for the Department of Defense, and serving in the U.S. Navy for nine years.

Customer Reviews Reviewer: Paul Pope from Tampa, FL I haven't finished reading this yet but I just had to put it down real quick so I could tell eveyone how useful this book is. I'll warn you up front, you have to take the time to read this - it is packed with information. The XSLT chapter goes into great detail and takes the confusion surrounding this topic and blows it away. The rest are very informative, too. This book is far better than the Henderson/Soukup Guru's guide. Buy this one and you won't need anything else. Reviewer: Midwest Book Review from Oregon, WI USA XML And SQL Server 2000 provides an informative, comprehensive, invaluable discussion of SQL Server 2000's new time-saving, easy-to-use XML capabilities. Following a brief discussion on XSL/XSLT and DTD's, users will find hundreds of hands-on examples that can be utilized in day-to-day operations in such areas as IIS Directories, http, xml views and xml schemas, openxml, and much more. Reviewer: R. Brunner from South Pasadena, CA United States In this book, John Griffin has provided a readable discussion of how to incorporate XML into your SQL Server 2000 applications. Starting with a gentle introduction to both XML and XSLT, John quickly moves into incorporating SQL Server 2000 into web applications, including discussion on Virtual Directories, executing SQL via HTTP, and Forms based queries. He then moves onto advanced topics like XDR Schemas and XPath, before concluding with chapters on FOR XML and OPEN XML, which are both important Microsoft extensions to SQL that are explicitly designed to improve the performance of SQL Server 2000 with XML. One of the only disappointments I had with this book was the neglect of Web Services, which I would expect would be a major reason for using XML with SQL Server 2000. This is not a major criticism, and might be addressed in later editions of the book. In any event, any serious SQL Server 2000 developer should take a look at this book. |
