BEST SQL SERVER BOOK!!!
5 Mar 2004
Format:Paperback
If there is one book that you are considering for SQL Server Administration, this is the one to buy. Covering all the major topics of administration, this book goes above and beyond other SQL Server books for several reasons. Not only does it live up to the promise of an easy to find guide for everyday tasks, it offers the ability to read up quickly on several advanced topics and gain knowledge rapidly. Taken into consideration, are the three latest versions; SQL Server 2000, 7.0 and 6.5, detailing out differences between versions where applicable. Everything is explained clearly. The authors have done an excellent job of providing a wealth of information in short and concise content. It is very refreshing to see a book that was obviously written to be as brief possible without skimping on important details...clearly no fluff here!!!! This has two benefits to the reader, 1; information is easy to find, no time is wasted reading through frivolous content, 2; the cost is lower than those 1,000 page volumes that contain less valuable information. Hopefully this is the start of a new trend in technical books.
In just a few minutes after flipping through, and reading up on backups, I realized that I'm not backing up my production data properly, and can substantially decrease data loss risk by backing up my transaction logs regularly with the data. Also, some security concepts I had a bit of difficulty fully comprehending became clear to me as well.
Reading through this book, it is obvious the authors have extensive experience with SQL Server, as this book has many insider tips that only experts would know through practice. It is also apparent that the authors worked well together as this book reads as though one person wrote it. Definitely a must buy and well worth the cost. I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars.

NECESSARY SQL BOOK
8 Mar 2004
Format:Paperback
This is an essential book for anyone who works with, or is curious about SQL. This book covers all aspects of SQL from installation to Back Up and restoration scenarios. Covering all flavors of SQL from version 6.5 to current this book is compact and contains an unbelievable amount of knowledge into less than 500 Pages. I could not get over how detailed and clear this book is. After having read many other books on these topics it was truly refreshing to read a technical book that succinctly touched on all aspects of administrating a SQL box.
It was unfortunate to discover that some of what I had thought was good techniques were proved to be flawed, and when after implementing the suggestions in this book I was thrilled to see an increase in efficiency of Data Calls, and Network Load.
It is clear to see that the authors of this book have carefully and clearly defined all that could be needed in a small easy to reference book. This book is a necessity for any desk where SQL Server is running. It is a small cost to pay for so much knowledge, well worth every cent.
