Most of the books that I've contributed to were written while I worked for
Wrox Press before its liquidation and subsequent buy-out by Wiley. These books
are mostly no longer in print. However, I've also written on a couple of books
for Apress.

The Programmer's Guide to SQL
Written with Cristian Darie,
Karli Watson and
Chris Hart
A handy reference guide to the SQL language, covering SQL Server,
Oracle, DB2, MySQL and Access. The emphasis is on performing real tasks
over all the covered platforms, so it's ideal if for example you're
familiar with SQL Server but you're currently using Oracle and want to
find the equivalent of @@IDENTITY.

Pro SQL Server 2005
Written with Thomas Rizzo et al.
SQL Server 2005 is the most exciting release of SQL
Server for years. The many new features include the ability to write
stored procedures and UDFs in .NET code, a new security model including
user/schema separation, a new XML data type and Service Broker - a message
queuing system native to SQL Server. This book will give you all the
low-down on all these, and much more.

Pro SQL Server 2005 Assemblies
Written with
Robin
Dewson
SQL Server 2005 will allow .NET
assemblies to run within SQL Server itself, so we can now write stored
procedures, UDFs, user-defined types etc. in .NET languages. This book
covers every aspect of using .NET assemblies in SQL Server, including lots
of practical examples, so it'll guide you through the confusion of knowing
when to use SQL assemblies instead of T-SQL or external .NET code in a
business object.
