Joe Celko's SQL Puzzles and Answers
Got to finish another book recently. It was Joe Celko's SQL Puzzles and Answers. I have to say I enjoyed it. Much of the syntax is a bit too strictly ANSI SQL for SQL Server's liking but I just love the fact that Joe is writing on these topics and has again provided a thought-provoking book. It would be hard to imagine any SQL developer or DBA reading it and not picking up some ideas for something they're working on.
It also made me think of several things I wish T-SQL had, like the following:
INSERT sometable (columna,columnb) VALUES((a,b),(c,d),(e,f))
