Inhaltsangabe

Transact-SQL is a procedural language used on both Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase SQL Server systems. It is a full-featured programming language that dramatically extends the power of SQL (Structured Query Language).The language provides programmers with a broad range of features, including:

• A rich set of datatypes, including specialized types for identifiers, timestamps, images, and long text fields
• Local and global variables
• Fully programmable server objects like views, triggers, stored procedures, and batch command files
• Conditional processing
• Exception and error handling
• Full transaction control
• System stored procedures that reduce the complexity of many operations, like adding users or automatically generating HTML Web pages

In recent years, the versions of Transact-SQL have diverged on Microsoft and Sybase systems; the book explains the differences. It also contains up-to-the-minute information on the latest versions: Microsoft SQL Server versions 6.5 and 7.0 and Sybase version 11.5.A brief table of contents follows:PART I: The Basics: Programming in Transact-SQL1.
