I recently bought 'High Performance Tuning' by Guy Harrison and I think it is excellent. Lots of detail on queries and tuning, with plenty of examples.
I found the OTN docs to be extremely terse and to the point. I think they lack detail. If your going to get one book on tuning queries, get his. However, its packed with info and is fairly dense for a beginner. Received on Thu Feb 13 2003 - 09:04:18 CST
