an one book really cover everything you need to know about SQL Server 2008? As more and
more books are covering fewer and fewer features of this huge product, before taking a close
look at Paul’s SQL Server 2008 Bible, I would have said no. And of course, the answer depends
on how much you actually need to know about my favorite database system. For some, ‘‘information
needed’’ could cover a lot of ground, but Paul’s book comes closer to covering everything than any book

I have ever seen.
Paul Nielsen brings his passion for SQL Server and his many years of experience with this product into
every page of the SQL Server 2008 Bible. Every detail and every example is tested out by Paul personally,
and I know for a fact that he had fun doing all this amazing writing and testing.
Of course, no book can go into great depth on every single area, but Paul takes you deeply enough into
each topic that you, the reader, can decide whether that feature will be valuable to you. How can you
know whether PowerShell or Spatial Data is something you want to dive deeply into unless you know
something about its value? How can you know if you should look more deeply into Analysis Services
or partitioning if you don’t even know what those features are? How do you know which Transact-SQL
language features will help you solve your data access problems if you don’t know what features are
available, and what features are new in SQL Server 2008? How can you know which high-availability
technology or monitoring tool will work best in your environment if you don’t know how they differ?
You can decide whether you want to use what Paul has presented as either a great breadth of SQL
Server knowledge or a starting point for acquiring greater depth in areas of your own choosing.
As someone who writes about a very advanced, but limited, area within SQL Server, I am frequently
asked by my readers what they can read to prepare them for reading my books. Now I have an answer
not just for my readers, but for myself as well. Just as no one book can cover every aspect of SQL
Server in great depth, no one person can know everything about this product. When I want to know
how to get started with LINQ, Service Broker, or MDX, or any of dozens of other topics that my books
don’t cover, Paul’s book is the place I’ll start my education.

elcome to the SQL Server 2008 Bible. SQL Server is an incredible database product. It offers
an excellent mix of performance, reliability, ease of administration, and new architectural
options, yet enables the developer or DBA to control minute details when desired. SQL

Server is a dream system for a database developer.
If there’s a theme to SQL Server 2008, it’s this: enterprise-level excellence. SQL Server 2008 opens sev-
eral new possibilities for designing more scalable and powerful systems. The first goal of this book is to
share with you the pleasure of working with SQL Server.
Like all books in the Bible series, you can expect to find both hands-on tutorials and real-world practical
applications, as well as reference and background information that provides a context for what you are
learning. However, to cover every minute detail of every command of this very complex product would
consume thousands of pages, so it is the second goal of this book to provide a concise yet comprehen-
sive guide to SQL Server 2008 based on the information I have found most useful in my experience as
a database developer, consultant, and instructor. By the time you have completed the SQL Server 2008
Bible, you will be well prepared to develop and manage your SQL Server 2008 database.
Some of you are repeat readers of mine (thanks!) and are familiar with my approach from the previous
SQL Server Bibles. Even though you might be familiar with this approach and my tone, you will find
several new features in this edition, including the following:
■ A ‘‘what’s new’’ sidebar in most chapters presents a timeline of the features so you can envision
the progression.
■ Several chapters are completely rewritten, especially my favorite topics.
■ I’ve added much of the material from my Smart Database Design into this book.
A wise database developer once showed a box to an apprentice and asked, ‘‘How many sides do you
see?’’ The apprentice replied, ‘‘There are six sides to the box.’’ The experienced database developer then
said, ‘‘Users may see six sides, but database developers see only two sides: the inside and the outside. To
the database developer, the cool code goes inside the box.’’ This book is about thinking inside the box.
Who Should Read This Book
I believe there are five distinct roles in the SQL Server space:
■ Data architect/data modeler
■ Database developer

Nielsen f06.tex V4 - 07/23/2009 6:18pm Page xxxvi
Introduction

■ Database administrator
■ BI (Business Intelligence) developer
■ PTO performance tuning and optimization expert
This book has been carefully planned to address each of these roles.
Whether you are a database developer or a database administrator, whether you are just starting out or
have one year of experience or five, this book contains material that will be useful to you.
While the book is targeted at intermediate-level database professionals, each chapter begins with the
assumption that you’ve never seen the topic before, and then progresses through the subject, presenting
the information that makes a difference.
At the higher end of the spectrum, the book pushes the intermediate professional into certain advanced
areas where it makes the most sense. For example, there’s very advanced material on T-SQL queries,
index strategies, and data architecture.
How This Book Is Organized
SQL Server is a huge product with dozens of technologies and interrelated features. Seventy-six chapters!
Just organizing a book of this scope is a daunting task.
A book of this size and scope must also be approachable as both a cover-to-cover read and a reference
book. The ten parts of this book are organized by job role, project flow, and skills progression:
Part I: Laying the Foundation
Part II: Manipulating Data with Select
Part III: Beyond Relational
Part IV: Developing with SQL Server
Part V: Data Connectivity
Part VI: Enterprise Data Management
Part VII: Security
Part VIII: Monitoring and Auditing
Part IX: Performance Tuning and Optimization
Part X: Business Intelligence

Introduction
SQL Server Books Online
This book is not a rehash of Books Online, and it doesn’t pretend to replace Books Online. I avoid
listing the complete syntax of every command — there’s little value in reprinting Books Online.
Instead, I’ve designed this book to show you what you need to know in order to get the most out of
SQL Server, so that you can learn from my experience and the experience of the co-authors.
In here you’ll find each feature explained as if we are friends — you got a new job that requires a spe-
cific feature you’re unfamiliar with, and you asked me to get you up to speed with what matters most.
The 76 chapters contain critical concepts, real-world examples, and best practices.
Conventions and Features
This book contains several different organizational and typographical features designed to help you get
the most from the information.
Tips, Notes, Cautions, and Cross-References
Whenever the authors want to bring something important to your attention, the information will appear
in a Tip, Note, or Caution.
This information is important and is set off in a separate paragraph with a special icon.
Cautions provide information about things to watch out for, whether simply inconvenient
or potentially hazardous to your data or systems.
Tips generally are used to provide information that can make your work simpler — special
shortcuts or methods for doing something easier than the norm. You will often find the rel-
evant .sys files listed in a tip.
Notes provide additional, ancillary information that is helpful, but somewhat outside of the
current presentation of information.
Cross-references provide a roadmap to related content, be it on the Web, another chapter
in this book, or another book.
What’s New and Best Practice Sidebars
Two sidebar features are specific to this book: the What’s New sidebars and the Best Practice sidebars.
What’s New with SQL Server Feature
W
henever possible and practical, a sidebar will be included that highlights the relevant new features

covered in the chapter. Often, these sidebars a lso alert you to which features have been eliminated
and which are deprecated. Usually, these sidebars are placed near the beginning of the chapter.

QL Server is a vast product. If you’re new to SQL Server it can
be difficult to know where to start. You need at least an idea of the
scope of the components, the theory behind databases, and how to
use the UI to even begin playing with SQL Server.
That’s where this part fits and why it’s called ‘‘Laying the Foundation.’’
Chapter 1 presents an introduction to SQL Server’s many components and
how they work together. Even if you’re an experienced DBA, this chapter is
a quick way to catch up on what’s new.
Database design and technology have both evolved faster since the
millennium than at any other time since Dr. Edgar Codd introduced his
revolutionary RDBMS concepts three decades earlier. Every year, the IT
profession is getting closer to the vision of ubiquitous information. This is
truly a time of change. Chapters 2 and 3 discuss database architecture and
relational database design.
Installing and connecting to SQL Server is of course required before you can
have any fun with joins, and two chapters cover those details.
Management Studio, one of my favorite features of SQL Server, and
PowerShell, the new scripting tool, each deserve a chapter and round out
the first part.
If SQL Server is the box, and developing is thinking inside the box, the first
part of this book is an introduction to the box.
