Microsoft SQL Server 2000 dramatically reduces the time required to bring the most powerful e-commerce, data warehousing, and line-of-business applications to market. "Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Reference Library" provides the ideal set of reference materials for programming SQL Server applications — direct from the SQL Server development group. This well-conceived, completely indexed series of volumes sensibly organizes and condenses the vast sea of available SQL Server technical reference information. It contains the printed documentation for SQL Server 2000 along with added-value features such as expert information, tips on how to improve performance, a comprehensive glossary of SQL terms, and a complete keyword index. The six volumes in the library include SQL Server 2000 Architecture and XML/lnternet Support, Analysis Services (OLAP), Database Deployment and Data Services Guide, Replication and English Query, T-SQL Language Reference, and T-SQL Stored Procedures and Tables Reference.
