This book is a complete guide to Transact-SQL. It contains an
introductory chapter, which gives an overview of SQL. The remaining
chapters are divided into two main parts: Basic Concepts and Advanced
Topics.
Chapter 1, “SQL Building Blocks,” describes the naming conventions
used by SQL and the enhancements (also known as extensions) added by
Transact-SQL. It also includes a desc ription of how to get started with
Transact-SQL using the isql utility. Sybase recommends that all users read
this chapter.
“Part 1: Basic Concepts” includes Chap ters 2–9. These chapters introduce
you to the basic functionality of SQL. Users new to SQL should become
familiar with the concepts described in these chapters before moving on
to Part 2. Experienced users of SQL may want to skim through these
chapters to learn about the Transact-SQL extensions introduced there and
to review the material.
“Part 2: Advanced Topics” includes Chapters 10–18. These chapters
describe Transact-SQL in more detail. Most of the Transact-SQL
extensions are described here. Users familiar with SQL, but not Transact-SQL, should concentrate on these chapters.
