Last year a large number of MVPs (mostly SQL Server) got together to write a book with all proceeds going to charity. The book consists of over 50 chapters, each on a different SQL-Server related topic, from database architecture through development administration, database development, performance tuning and even Business Intelligence. I contributed a chapter on deadlock graphs, how to dissect the deadlock graph and see what locks were taken and requested and by what statements.
The book’s been delayed a couple times for various reasons, but it is now available for pre-order from a number of places:
- Manning publishing. Buying from here means more money goes to the charity than if it gets bought from elsewhere.
- Amazon.com
- Barnes and Noble
