Hi,

I need you to suggest me one book so that I can learn T-sql - beginner to advanced.

I want to start writing queries like Manivannan and others so that i can also help others

Please suggest and give me a plan. I am ready to sincerely dedicate 2-3 hours every day.

Hi,

I very much happy to hear from you.

Effective Query writing will be come from experience & learning, 2 years back I used this forum like you only. Then I started learning from most of the genius from here (Kent, Arnie, AMB, Lousie & Jayachandar, OJ), frankly still I am learning from this forum (like to thank Sankar, ggcibuc, rusag2 & rich)

Learn, Practice & one day you will become as a expert.

I really like & learnt most of the things form this book,
