Down and dirty database infrastructure

[Beeker]

Does any have a link, or know of an MS book(s) that details the
underlying database structure, tables, processes? Something that
explains in detail how/why this stuff is configured and works, like
DDL, TDS, varchar, int, index, tables, normalization, DML, Primary
Key/Foreign key.

Sounds like you are looking for "Inside SQL Server 2000" by Kalen
Delaney.

Re: Down and dirty database infrastructure

Thanks much.

The review, on Barnes and Nobel (

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/bookSearch/isbnInquiry.asp?r=1&isbn=0735609985

), on her treatment of internals and other vaulable info are very
critical.

Then the Amazon comments praise her.

She knows her stuff. Extremely knowledgeable. Get the book.

You want a book on XML, there are definitely better ones.
