    Hi,

    Why only Indian why not others?

  • Same question I was going to ask. Why only Indian authors? Wouldn't it be better to just go for the best books, regardless of the ethnic origin of the author?

    For example, if I were learning TSQL, I'd go for Itzik Ben-Gan's books. I'm sorry he's not Indian, but he's one of the best.

    In answer to your question, none that I know of. In response to your comment above, sometimes we ask questions to further our understanding of your question. I hope that isn't a problem for you.

    Your original question ....

    ...got people to wondering if you want to "increase your knowledge" or were doing a narrow survey of Indian authors who've contributed to the field. Is it not reasonable that someone who's offering help to strangers on the internet asks for clarification of an ambiguous request?

    If you look on Amazon.com, there are a number of SQL Server books with authors whose names appear, to me, to be Indian. They could easily, of course, be Americans or Brits or whatever, with immigrant ancestors. I also have trouble telling apart Bangladeshi names from Indian ones, and so on, so I could be confusing those.

    But do take a look on Amazon.com and search for "SQL Server", and take a look at author names. You might be able to research them online and find out their actual nationality. That's usually pretty easy for authors and such.

    Does that help?

    I'm gonna be generous and put that down to something being "lost in translation".

    (I am feeling particularly generous today)

    Can I ask - are you looking for a book in an Indian language (if so, which one?) or specifically by an author who was born/raised/had lived in/wrote the book while in/ India?

    Cheers,

    Paul

    its not just a matter of having A DEGREE but its matter of your way of utilizing you abilities in the sensiful manner .

    You came up just a wee bit short on "sensiful manner" on that one.

    I can, however, recommend an excellent book on how to cook pork chops. 😉

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

  • I just give it a shot on the google but no results for Indian aurthor for SQL Server. BLOGS can be found by Indians ( and I guessed that by their names only)

  • Sajal Dam wrote the SQL Server 2000 version of Query Performance Tuning Distilled, and his name is still on the 2008 version since about 20% of the text is still his. There's one.

    This one seems to be.

    This one.

    Jeff and the meat... *sigh*

  • @Grant: No fair! You cheated by spending more than five seconds searching Google! :laugh:

    @Flo: I know, it's becoming a worry...

    I would have thought that brussels sprouts would be worse than pork chops...?
