Great Book, Erik: complex queries and execution plans rendered in full color

Great Book, Erik: complex queries and execution plans rendered in full color
This book consists of ~60 blog posts from Erik Darling. They're freely available on the web, but they're in-depth and pretty technical - which means I usually want to dig deeper into them when I have free time, like on a plane. Having them in book form is really helpful. In the printed version, the pages are full color - first time I've ever seen this in a tech book - which means easier-to-read code samples and execution plans.

    I say that with all the respect possible. Tons of value here not the least of which is reminding life long learners just how far the road is. In a good way!

    Impressed with the layout, color, and font size. Easy on the eyes.

    First SQL Server book I have seen where you can read a graphical query plan without a scanning tunneling electron microscope.

    Looking forward to Volume 2.

    Great collection of columns/blogs from one of the brilliant minds in the sql server community.

    Plenty of space on the page for notes as you follow along with the demos and coding thrills!

    There are grammatical mistakes which I can handle, but I'm only 56 pages into the book and I can't read some of the screenshots because they are so blurry. I hope this is an issue with this blog post and that there aren't more.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Dirty Reads Done Dirt Cheap
    Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2025
    Format: Paperback
    You know that feeling when you read a blog post so good you immediately want to steal the idea and pretend it was yours? That’s *Great Post, Erik* in book form. Erik Darling nails it with his trademark mix of sarcasm, technical expertise, and just enough self-deprecation to keep you wondering if he really does hate himself—or just you.

    The book dives deep into SQL Server performance tuning, but it’s not your typical “read this manual and cry yourself to sleep” kind of content. Instead, Erik takes topics like query plan sniffing, index design, and parameter sniffing (yes, those are different) and makes them not just palatable but genuinely fun. His analogies are spot-on, his jokes hit more than they miss, and his practical examples are gold for anyone who’s spent time staring at Management Studio wondering where their weekend went.

    Sadly, the content is still just as relevant today as the day it was written, thanks to the glacial pace of innovation in the SQL Server platform. But hey, at least Erik gives you the tools to deal with the same old problems in new, hilariously creative ways.

    In short: It’s the perfect mix of "why is SQL Server doing this?" and "oh, that’s why!" Highly recommend—especially if you like your tech books to hit with both humor and hard truths.
