sql server (alternate) : Announce: Tips & Tricks book

I recently published a Tips & Tricks book aimed at Sybase ASE (see
www.sypron.nl/ttr). Although I originally didn't intend to cover
MS-SQL, I have received feedback from readers who found it highly
useful for MS SQL as well (see one of the comments at
www.sypron.nl/ttr).
Due to their common heritage, much of the content of my book will
indeed be applicable to MS SQL Server as well.
(for those of you who don't know: MS SQL Server started its life as
Sybase SQL Server (later renamed to 'ASE') in the early 90's --
despite some of Microsoft's claims, there is still a *lot* of
similarity between Sybase ASE and MS SQL. In fact, did you know that
'SQL Server' and Transact-SQL' are still Sybase's, not Microsoft's,
trademarks?)

Anyway, check out this book -- I'm quite sure it'll be useful for
MS-SQL users. Feedback from MS-SQL users is appreciated.

It looks like a good enough book for Sybase DBAs/programmers but considering
that the both of the two tricks covered in the preview (linked at
www.sypron.nl/ttr) don't work the same way (or at all) for MS-SQL Server, I
think an MS DBA/programmer could find better ways to spend his/her money.
