I absolutely need to find something to give away on this blog! My friend Kat Black is giving away a gift card to Bed Bath and Beyond , but I want to do something other than a gift card.

I know! I’ll give away The SQL Cookbook by Anothony Molinaro!

Ok — so to enter my contest to win the cookbook, post a comment here and if you have a blog, post a link to my contest on your blog for a second entry into the contest.

All entrants must include a valid email address and, if you win, of course you’ll have to provide me with a mailing address to send the book to you at. No email or physical addresses will ever be sold, given or othewise used for any other purpose than me contacting you about this contest.

Entries will be taken from today (1/7/2008) and end Friday 1/21/2008. I’ll put all the entries in a hat and draw it here via video on Saturday, 1/22/2008.

Good luck!

    I saw your post on Lazy DBA

  4. Jon Baker says:

    So how tasty is SQL after you’ve cooked it?

  5. Jim says:

    Ketchup will always help anything taste better, even SQL

  6. Al Henke says:

    Good luck to all, best of luck to me…gotta love the lazyDBA… :)
    Have a great 2008!

  7. Annette says:

    Well, I will probably be getting one of these books either way. Santa did not bring me one for Christmas! :(

  8. Normajean says:

  10. JD says:

    What the heck I’ll give this a try.

  11. Stephen says:

    Thank you. :)
    Another thing to add to my todo list! I think I will move this one to the top of the list.
    1) Read SQL Cookbook
    2) Re-read SQL Cookbook
    3) Apply knowledge gained from SQL Cookbook
    4) Think about fixing Bathroom door, then read SQL Cookbook.
    ::)
    Best of luck to all, whoever wins, can read the book and share the knowledge gained on LazyDBA!!!

  12. Tom Ryan says:

    Ed if you don’t win will you trade a Red Stripe for it?

  13. Vaidyanathan says:

    Hi,

    I have been following the lazydba posts for some time, but could’nt join in as it was a paid membership!!

    However i have been reading the posts regularly.

    Would also like to throw my hat into the ring!!!

  14. Lynn Rosini says:

    I love to cook but I’ve never tried cooking SQL even though I’m a DBA, so I’d love to have a copy of the book and try the recipes.

  15. Shree says:

    ::) Good strategy to invite comments. Why dont you join politics?

  16. Steve Mann says:

    Hi Ed, Tom . . . I have a Red Stripe, but I’m having it removed in a week.

  17. Maria says:

    I have no idea what Red Stripe is…
    But regardless of that, why the heck not? It will be good a resource for work. :)
