Library of Useful (Difficult) SQL scripts [closed]

Question

You may find this wiki on LessThanDot useful, for the most part, it is by Denis Gobo, Microsoft SQL MVP.

EDIT: The wiki includes 100+ SQL Server Programming Hacks, the list is, I think, too long to include here, however, there is a comprehensive index.

Also available from the same site: SQL Server Admin Hacks.

Here are a few that I find very useful:

The Art of SQL (slight Oracle bias)

Sql Cookbook has a variety of interesting example, though some will undoubtedly be unsupported by your RDBMS of choice. O'Reilly also has a T-SQL Cookbook, but I've never personally read it.
