This book is an excellent addition to the documentation provided with SQLXML, especially if you are just starting to use SQLXML. The book helps you decide if SQLXML is right for your situation.
This book is technically competent, but goes right past the two most important factors; if you are developing XML, then you will probably be using Java, and that if you are developing applications (even with XML) on SQL server, then you are probably using COM+. Sorry.
This is what a technical publication should be. The book covers all aspects of SQLXML, from programming to administrative issues (including security concerns -- everyone needs to do more of that).
The people who wrote this book have a great deal of real-world experience using these technologies, and it shows. While the SQL Server product documentation and the first generation of SQL Server XML books are great for giving you a categorical treatment of the features, this book emphasizes the techniques that are proving to be most useful while providing experience-based warnings about potential pitfalls in other techniques.
SQL Server 2000 XML Distilled, from cover to cover its 100% professional & 100% technically absorbing.The content is mega interesting & discussed as you would use it here on planet-earth.
Even though this book is one of the first attempts of Curlingstone press, the book is by far one of the best covering how to use XML in SQL Server. Most other books are copy cats of MSDN online refrence but this book stands out by covering SQL XML 3.
The recent breed of book on XML technology put database applications on its target. However most developments are far from being suitable to daily programming tasks.
