    great for all levels

    this is great for introductory and for those wanting to dive further into querying. Doesn't get into building database, which is nice as that is not what I need. Perfect addition to library.

    Highly recommend!

    Great book. Helpful to brush up and realize what you had forgotten about T-SQL. Highly recommend this book for beginners as well as a reference for those who just need something handy to refer to.

    Great book

    This book is an excellent introduction to T-SQL. If you've been working with SQL Server and want to brush up on your T-SQL chops, this is the book for you. I've re-read it twice now and pick up additional nuances each time.
