Introduction
Updating both Inside Microsoft SQL Server 2008: T-SQL Querying (Microsoft Press, 2009) and parts of Inside Microsoft SQL Server 2008: T-SQL Programming (Microsoft Press, 2009), this book gives database developers and administrators a detailed look at the internal architecture of T-SQL and a comprehensive programming reference. It includes coverage of SQL Server 2012 and 2014, but in many cases deals with areas that are not version-specific and will likely be relevant in future versions of SQL Server. Tackle the toughest set-based querying and query-tuning problems—guided by an author team with in-depth, inside knowledge of T-SQL. Deepen your understanding of architecture and internals—and learn practical approaches and advanced techniques to optimize your code’s performance. This book covers many unique techniques that were developed, improved, and polished by the authors over their many years of experience, providing highly efficient solutions for common challenges. There’s a deep focus on the performance and efficiency of the techniques and solutions covered. The book also emphasizes the need to have a correct understanding of the language and its underlying mathematical foundations.
