Books on SQL Server 2005

Hello!
Could anyone recommend a good book on SQL Server 2005?
Thanks,
Igor
I can recommend "Pro SQL Server 2005" -- I think it's pretty good, but I'm
biased, having written part of it :-)
Here is a link for the book on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/159...books&v=glance
You can also see a sample chapter if you click the link in my signature.
Other than that, there are not many books available yet. There are three or
four books written for the beta releases--I do not recommend those, as they
are currently somewhat outdated. I believe all of them will be coming out
with new editions in the coming months. As far as I'm aware, the only other
book available right now targetted at RTM is William Stanek's "Pocket
Consultant":
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/073...books&v=glance
I have not yet had a chance to check that out, so I can't comment on its
quality.

I second that. I recently read it to get me up to speed on those things I didn't focus on during
beta. It is a fairly quick way to get enough information about the new stuff, and you can then more
easily jump into those topics you need, as the need arises.
