Chapter 1. Being Objective: Re-Examining Objects in SQL Server
Well, here we are. We're at the beginning, but, if you're someone who's read my Professional level titles before, you'll find we're not quite at the same beginning that we were at inprevious editions. SQL Server has gotten just plain too big, and so the "Pro" is going to become a little bit more "Pro" in level right from the beginning.
So, why am I still covering objects first then? Well, because I think a review is alwaysin order on the basics, because you may need the see what's changed versus previous editions, and, last but not least, I still want this book to retain some of its use as a reference (I hate having to use 25 books to get all the info that seems like it should have been in just one).
With this in mind, I'm going to start off the same way I always start off — looking at theobjects available on your server. The difference is that I'm going to assume that you already largely know this stuff, so we're going to move along pretty quickly and make a rather short chapter out of this one.
