Tom has already blogged about it, and so has Louis.

But for me, it wasn't real until Friday night when UPS showed up and delivered my copies.  I have to say, seeing my name on the cover of a book for the first time was a great feeling.  I put a lot of work into my chapters, and I'm happy with the outcome.  I think the entire book came out quite well.

I wrote chapters 4, 5, and 6:  "T-SQL for DBAs", ".NET Integration", and "Programming Assemblies".  Chapter 4 includes material on topics like online indexing, partitioning, SNAPSHOT isolation (still my favorite SQL Server 2005 feature), etc.  Chapters 5 and 6 are dedicated to CLR integration, as you can probably tell by their titles.  Chapter 5 is basically an in-depth look at ADO.NET integration and writing a CLR stored procedure.  Chapter 6 delves into UDTs, UDFs, and UDAs, and triggers.

So please check it out if you're looking for a SQL Server 2005 book!  And of course, send me any comments on the material I wrote!
