Passed the cert exam a couple weeks ago.The only reason for not giving it five stars is by comparison with Ben-Gan's equivalent book for SQL 2005, which is about 50% longer and goes into more fundamental detail on topics that are still relevant, such as pivoting which was introduced in that version. In general, you can't go wrong with any of Ben-Gan's books.Wish the prep book for the next exam, 70-762, were half as good, but the text is riddled with typo's and a few important omissions & errors.Wrote the above on Nov 26 2018; adding this a couple months later. A subsequent comment complains that this book is written at a Ph.D. level, which is pure nonsense. It is written for the intelligent technical reader who is willing to grapple with occasionally tricky aspects of relational database and SQL syntax. Ben-Gan is one of the best technical writers you're ever going to find. ### ⭐ These good reviews are completely unjustified *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2018* I am so frustrated after studying this book that I felt compelled to leave a review - and I never review anything.This book is dry, all over the place, and UNNECESSIARLY WRITTEN AT THE PHD LEVEL.Why are you using PHD Level reading for a SQL book? It makes no sense. Why???Do you talk like this in your every day life?You could've made this book, and this subject, much more user friendly by teaching the concepts in plain English.Please note - I have a Masters degree, and I finished at the top of my class. Many textbooks that I was forced to drudge through during my masters program were not written as difficult as this book is.Also note - this book is heavy on computer science. If you are not a computer science major - you will be completely lost studying this book. The author describes complex computer science concepts as if you already know in depth what he's talking about.Unfortunately, he has a monopoly over the 70-761 exam, because there are literally no other books / courses that teach the full extent of the tested material.I encourage anyone that has a good understanding of T-SQL to please create teaching context in plain, easy to read English.In short, It is impressive that you are so smart Ben-Gan - but the PHD language you use to teach is completely and utterly unnecessary. Save that for the PHD literature courses. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I passed 70-761 test yesterday. *by A***X on Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2018* I highly recommend this book if you are preparing for 70-761 exam.I have no idea why people are complaining about this book. Yes, it is very dry, but so querying SQL server topic is. Out of all the materials I used to get ready for the test, I found the book to be the most comprehensive source of most detailed information. Yes, he has links pointing out of the book, so what? It is a ton of material, and you can't fit everything in 1 book, unless you are are OK to have a 2000 pages book. And I found all those links (for example, a link to an 1.5 hour long video about intricacies of CROSS APPLY) very helpful. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/132291691-exam-ref-70-761-querying-data-with-transact-sql-1st](https://www.desertcart.in/products/132291691-exam-ref-70-761-querying-data-with-transact-sql-1st) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
