This book is dedicated with all my heart to my children Ashley and Addy,
who put up with me “disappearing” into my home office during the
several months that I worked on this book. They provide the energy
that powers my writing, and I love them to no end. I only wish
Wrox would let me print a picture of the two women
in my life on the cover of this book rather than my ugly mug.

Acknowledgments
Nearly six years have gone by since I finished my first book on SQL Server, and my how life has
changed. It’s been only a few months since I completed the new Beginning SQL Server 2005 Programming
title that is something of a companion to this book, yet there remain quite a few people to thank in that
time (and before for that matter).
I’ll start with my kids, who somehow continue to be just wonderful even in the face of dad stressing out
over this and that. It’s nice to be able to tell my youngest that I’m finally “done with that book” that she
has asked me the “when?” question about for over a year now (I’m not sure she has completely gotten
the idea that there have been two this time around). She has been tremendously patient with me all dur-
ing the development of this as well as the Beginning book. I think I’ll miss that occasional time that she
would come in and just sit and watch me write just to be with me. Having just watched my eldest grad-
uate high school, I wonder where the years have gone. The “thank you’s” definitely need to begin with
those two.
You—the readers. You’ve written me mail and told me how I helped you out in some way. That was and
continues to be the number one reason I find to strength to write another book. The continued support
of my Professional series titles has been amazing. We struck a chord—I’m glad. Here’s to hoping we help
make your SQL Server experience a little less frustrating and a lot more successful.
I also want to pay special thanks to several people past and present. Some of these are at the old Wrox
Press and have long since fallen out of contact, but they remain so much of who I am as I writer that I
need to continue to remember them. Others are new players for me, but have added their own stamp to
the mix—sometimes just by showing a little patience:
Kate Hall—Who, although she was probably ready to kill me by the end of each of my first two books,
somehow guided me through the editing process to build a better book each time. I have long since
fallen out of touch with Kate, but she will always be the most special to me as someone who really
helped shape my writing career. I will likely always hold this first “professional” dedication spot for her.
Wherever you are Kate, I hope you are doing splendidly.
Adaobi Obi Tulton—Who has had enough of her own stresses this year, so my apologies go out to her
for all the stress I’ve placed in her regarding delivery schedules. If I ever make it rich, I may hire Adaobi
as my spiritual guide. While she can be high stress about deadlines, she has a way of displaying a kind
of “peace” in just about everything else I’ve seen her do—I need to learn that.
Bob Elliott—Mostly just a “thanks for hanging in there”—he’ll understand what I mean.
Kevin Kent—Who had to pick up in the middle and shepherd things along.
Dominic Shakeshaft—Who got me writing in the first place (then again, given some nights filled with
writing instead of sleep lately, maybe it’s not thanks I owe him).

Acknowledgments
Catherine Alexander—Who played Kate’s more than able-bodied sidekick for my first title and was cen-
tral to round two. Catherine was much like Kate in the sense she had a significant influence on the shape
and success of my first two titles.
John Mueller—Who had the dubious job of finding my mistakes. I’ve done tech editing myself, and it’s
not the easiest job to notice the little details that were missed or are, in some fashion, wrong. It’s even
harder to read someone else’s writing style and pick the right times to say, “You might want to approach
this differently” and the right times to let it be. John did a terrific job on both counts.
There are not quite as many other players in this title as there have been in my previous titles, but this
book has been in development for so long and touched enough people that I’m sure I’ll miss one or two—
if you’re among those missed, please accept my humblest apologies and my assurance that your help was
appreciated. That said, people who deserve some additional thanks (some of these go to influences from
WAY back) include Paul Turley, Greg Beamer, Itzik Ben-Gan, Kalen Delaney, Fernando Guerrero,
Gert Drapers, and especially Richard Waymire.

in 1860 one hundred and thirty-nine thousand four hundred and
fifty-six inhabitants, with a corrected enrollment of eighteen
thousand three hundred and seventy-one persons liable to military
service. Of this enrollment, thirteen thousand six hundred and
twenty-eight were farmers, and the remaining four thousand seven
hundred and forty-three comprised persons of other occupations.
Taking this district as an average of the other districts in the state, it
shows the volunteers sent to the front from Ohio were chiefly young
men born in the state—hardy and well-developed Squirrel Hunters.
Of seventeen hundred and fifty-five volunteers forwarded by this
district, from July 4, 1864, to April 30, 1865, one thousand, two
hundred and twenty-nine were Ohio boys, with an average of 23.77
years—the remaining five hundred and twenty-six were from twenty-
four states and fifteen foreign countries, with an average of 27.13
years. Notwithstanding the more favorable age of the latter group
for physical development, the measurements stand decidedly in
favor of the Ohio born, and if adding to the latter the nine hundred
and eighty-seven drafted men, natives of Ohio, the favorable
difference becomes still more apparent.
The Provost-Marshal General, in his report to the War Department,
states there was not a single district in all the loyal states in which
the board of enrollment was free from the annoyance of evil
disposed persons hostile to the Government, who were ever ready
and willing to embarrass its operation by stimulating resistance to
the draft or discouraging enlistments. It was when the disloyal
element experienced the firmness and earnestness of the boards,
and felt the power behind them for the enforcement of the law, that
they became co-laborers and most successful recruiting agents. This
was exceedingly gratifying to the Government, and caused the
Provost-Marshal General to say to the Secretary of War: “I am
confident there is no class of public servants to whom the country is
more indebted for valuable services rendered than the District
Provost-Marshals and their associates, comprising the Boards of
Enrollment, by whose efforts the army of the Union, which
suppressed the Rebellion, was mainly recruited.” Still, Hon. Hoke
Smith, ex-Rebel and Secretary of the Interior, published the
information that these recruiting officers are not pensionable under
the disability act of Congress, June 27, 1890, for the reason “these
officers were not in the war,” and so says the present Commissioner
of Pensions, Hon. Henry Clay Evens. Autocratic decisions are
sometimes quite at variance with sound sense as well as suggestive
of one of ex-President Lincoln’s best stories.
It can not be said that the Ohio Squirrel Hunters were not in the war,
for not a few of them were pensioned long before the ex-secretary
surrendered his arms of rebellion against the Government he now
fosters. The oppressors of slavery in their wicked attempts to
destroy the Union, induced a war that brought with it incalculable
sorrow and suffering—a war that words and figures fail to give an
approximate realization of its magnitude. Dollars can be measured
by millions, but the tears, heart aches and loss of two hundred and
eighty-seven thousand, seven hundred and eighty-nine loyal men
who gave their lives for liberty, and are historically represented by
head-stones that whiten the national cemeteries, can no more be
estimated than can the good that must forever flow to the United
States in wiping out the iniquitous chattel slavery.
Some persons are inclined to look upon the evils following the war—
dissolute legislation, moral turpitude, and political party profligacy, as
neutralizing much if not the entire national benefits acquired at the
enormous cost of the Rebellion. While it is possible, the corruption
following in the wake of protracted wars with large armies may more
than counterbalance the good accomplished by successful military
achievements, it is to be hoped that the subjugation of southern
rebels, giving freedom to millions of slaves, and showing to
credulous monarchs the ability of a republic to coerce obedience to
the constitution and laws, may ever for good outweigh the evils
following the war that accomplished such everlasting benefits. That
the laxity complained of has greatly increased within the last three
decades can scarcely be questioned. Every department of the
government has been more or less criticised for want of faithful
performance. No department has perhaps suffered more in the
confidence of the people than that political plum styled “The
interior.”
The just and honorable cause for pensioning disabled soldiers soon
became merged into politics, and from head to foot the distance was
made short from fact to fraud. Noah’s Ark did not exceed in variety
with all the species of beasts, birds, and creeping things, that of the
contents of the Pension Building with a single species of ex parte
creation. Applications of all kinds, shapes, and forms. This has never
appeared unsatisfactory to that unscrupulous, unmentionable, who
is paid per head by the bureau for the art of filing claims. He knows
by experience the wonderful ability of the institution and its
consulting politicians to overcome objection and get the most
angular cases through the hole that leads to the public treasury.
If stated, it would scarcely be believed that absolute fraud could find
unrequited favor in an office devoted to the most deserving of the
nation—cases as groundless as the following: After enlisting, a
soldier changed his mind, and when called upon to report forwarded
a joint affidavit of himself and physician, in which was stated said
soldier had before and at the date of enlistment permanent
disabilities (naming them), which disqualified him for military
service, and that he should have been rejected. (Soldiers at that
date were sent forward without regulation examination.) Soldier
received a discharge on the affidavit and was happy.
In due time an application was made under the arrears act, giving
the diseases named in the joint affidavit as having “occurred in the
service in line of duty.” In days of honest administration, in looking
up the history of the applicant in the War Office, the affidavit was
found and placed with the file in the Pension Office.
This ended the case, and under several administrations it slept with
attempts at fraud. Perseverance is said to be the road to success,
and by the stimulant of contingent fees intercession was secured,
and by management of good legal advice the case was placed in the
hands of a “special examiner,” and went through without the loss of
a dollar, securing a small fortune in arrears, but claiming the rating
too low, and making immediate application for increase.
It would seem improbable for the heads of the bureau not to know
and fully understand some of the many instances of perjury and
fraud that passed current through the office. It is the old rejected or
suspended cases with large arrears that are attractive and are
thoroughly investigated for new evidence. In this attempt parties
generally receive the courteous assistance of those officially
connected with the office. Even a medical referee has been known
to show great interest in barefaced fraud, and give tips to aid in
getting such through the bureau successfully. General Phil Sheridan,
who was well informed in regard to the contents of the great
Pension Office, was told the contents were safe, as the building was
fire-proof, and could never burn down, replied: “That would be my
serious objection to it.”
Notwithstanding reports of corruption, fraud, avarice, and greed for
public plunder, which may slow the advancing pace of civilization,
there are enough common people to preserve the nation—people
who worship not at the feet of the God of Aaron; poor people;
people who pay legal tribute to the government; honest, stalwart
standard-bearers of morality, intelligence, and patriotism; supporters
of common-schools and churches; people who are ever watchful of
the interests of the nation, protect the sanctity of the ballot-box, and
direct the legal machinery for the protection of virtue and
suppression of vice, possessing salt with the savor of moral honesty
that passes current in business and social life.
The expressed will of the people is the law of the land. It has made
and amended constitutions; by it black has become white; the bond
free; slaves, citizens. It has erected monuments; built towns and
cities; and in war and times of peace has accomplished much for the
good of all. It has muzzled many of the national vices, and given
civilization long strides in the right direction. And the spirit of the age
should by law hasten the end of growing political struggles for place
regardless of qualification.
It has become a matter of common report, and one that is generally
believed, that successful applicants for office by the suffrage of the
people are but seldom as much interested in the welfare of their
constituents as they are in their own sycophantic obedience to
selfish bosses, who, under party cover, willingly contribute of their
wealth to perpetuate a party power that assures the gratification of
their own greed for ill-gotten gain.
Qualification is recognized as essential by law, and lies at the
foundation of civil and military service. State laws require that
teachers of common schools furnish legal evidence of qualification
for the position. The commander of an army must have a military
education and qualification; so, too, every appointment made
through the civil departments of the government, for a short
distance up the base, requires of the applicant a certificate from a
qualified board of censors, stating that said applicant is in all
respects fitted to perform the duties of the position applied for. This
is termed Civil and Military Service, and has been declared
constitutional.
If so, why may not the people demand more? If a little civil service
meted out to those filling subordinate positions is a benefit, why
may not the like treatment be accorded to all candidates seeking
national positions, by appointment or directly from the people? It is
admitted that civil service is a matter of safety and efficiency in
subordinate civil positions. If so, it is not unreasonable to suppose
the salutary effects would be infinitely greater if applied to the more
responsible positions. Education and qualification for all positions is
the law of military government; and most certainly similar
requirements might be made equally advantageous to the civil
government. Military government could not long sustain existence
without the service of prescribed regulations. The commanding
general of the army obtains the high honor of the position from his
education and certified ability, and efficiency as master of the
science of war. The President of the United States, being over all as
commander-in-chief, should be thoroughly versed in the civil and
military, as Master of the Science of Government, not only of our
own, but that of every nation on earth.
There does not appear to be any sufficient reason why a
government civil service should not exist and be as open to the
election of coming generations as that of law, medicine, literary or
other pursuits; and it is not saying a word too much to urge the
necessity for an institution adapted to the civil as West Point is to
the military power, where persons having taken the degree of A.M.
may matriculate and qualify themselves for the civil service, and
obtain a certificate of such qualification from the institution, having a
prescribed curriculum, requiring four years of study to entitle one to
examination for the honors of graduation.
Individuals highly educated in the science of government and the art
of governing, fitted for a field exclusively their own, would promote
an agreement upon the complex questions that now agitate and
endanger the peace of society by keeping at fever heat party
differences that are magnified by designing politicians.
The high authority of the teachings of the court of instructions,
would define the policy and give stability to the Government, and
would remove party press for office by incompetency. It would also
determine the exact relations between the several departments of
the Government, especially how far the President has power to
involve the country in war against the will of Congress by
recognizing belligerency or independence in cases in which Congress
refused such recognition.
As the nation increases in population and number of states, it
requires increased wisdom and knowledge to rule and make the
people prosperous and happy. The great central region lying
between the Ohio river, Lakes and Mississippi will ever be the heart
of the Republic. Within it are the life springs of three-fourths of our
country’s whole area. Nowhere in the United States is there a basin
of such vast extent, capable of feeding so great a population.
“Hence its destiny is to hold the balance of power between East and
West, hence it is truly regal.”[33]
When the first-born of the states of this great basin came into the
Union (Ohio), it brought with its baptism the inauguration of
National Internal Improvements—a policy that has enriched the
nation by liberality of expenditures, improving harbors, water-ways
and roads, in building custom-houses, post-offices, and in assisting
the states in many laudable undertakings, while like the miser, in all
its vast wealth has been wearing old, unbecoming, unfashionable
clothes and doing the business of the nation in rented and other ill-
begotten shops, located here and there, as best suited real-estate
sharks and speculators in a sickly city.[34] But the dawn of day is
coming by which the people of the North-west now see it is high
time the Government should make for itself a permanent home—a
place of security for all the valuable records of the nation. A spot for
the Government alone, called “The Capitol of the United States,”
near the center of population controlling representation, free from
private property. A capital with capacious senatorial, representative
and judicial halls, contiguous to the several departments, with state
dwellings for senators and representatives of the several states, and
other necessary buildings, all to be owned and controlled by the
Government, each constructed with reference to the intended uses,
large enough to accommodate an ordinary peaceable assemblage of
American citizens, with room to spare.
The most celebrated speaker now living in America, on reciting a
visit to the present capital during the sitting of Congress, states:
“Another thing that impressed me was, that the hall of the House of
Representatives was built in defiance of all laws of acoustics. There
are more echoes than can be counted to play havoc with a speech,
and turn the finest oratory into a senseless gabble.” A capital
situated on the border of an inland sea, with large grounds, parks,
lakes, lagoons, gardens, and fountains, in beauty all that art and
nature is able to make one place on this continent fitly dedicated to
the keeping of the charter of the best government on earth. And,
then, if the crowned heads of the world have a desire to see the
majesty of a Republic, owned and preserved by the people, let them
come and look upon “The Capital of the United States”—where just
laws are made and interpreted alike for all the people.
A capital with the architectural requirements of so great a nation,
bristling with “peacemakers” and a floating navy in sight, would
increase American pride and attachment, and do more to advance
the arts, sciences, and sound civilization than all other national
improvements combined. It would “copy the Monroe Doctrine into
international law,” and secure peace over the entire world.
The Squirrel Hunters
of
Ohio and North-west will do it.
Good Night.
