The second preview of Microsoft SQL Server 2016 “Mission-Critical Applications, Deeper Insights, Hyperscale Cloud” is available for download.
You can find the link to download the free e-book here. I do not know how long the free e-book about SQL Server 2016 can still be downloaded. If it is gone, use this link.
If you are a beginner in SQL, a new book has just come out: Getting Started with SQL.
