The Guru's Guide to SQL Server Architecture and Internals

Explains how SQL Server and its core technologies are designed, how they work, and how they interoperate. As a complement to his other two books on SQL, Henderson explores Windows' process and threading architecture, memory management, and foundational I/O facilities, then looks inside SQL Server's user mode scheduler, XML facilities, and data transformation services. Most of the examples are written in C++. The CD-ROM contains the VBODSOLE library, DTS package guru, and DTSDIAG. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
