Format:Paperback
For once a manual that does exactly what it says on the tin! SQL Server has a reputation as a DBMS that allows you to just install and forget. That's all very well until your system grinds to a halt. That's when you know you need this book. This goes through the nitty gritty of the DBMS disk storage implementation and options as regards the various performance and disaster recovery scenarios. Plus a clear guide on how to use NT Perfomance Monitor and the Profiler to locate bottlenecks etc. Clear and informative, an absolute must for DBAs.

Yet Another Re-Write of SQL Books Online ?
25 Mar 2000
Format:Paperback
Definitely not another Books Online. I bought this book to better understand hardware requirements for VLDB systems (1+Terabytes)... the book explains in great depth all vital hardware components in a system (RAID levels, CPU, RAM)... not just what is best but why, and the dynamics of how each component functions. The Sizing and Capacity Planning section was also great, as it gave mathematical equations for calculating system statistics... equations I had not seen before. I did not find the performance monitoring section especially helpful - although the book did make good suggestions about charting db performance over time.

If you are serious about SQL Server, get this.
24 Mar 2000
Format:Paperback
I have been very satisfied with "Inside SQL Server" for so long, and have been keeping it by my desk. However, this one is more focused on Performance Tuning. You can find things from planning your hardware until tuning your Datawarehouse in here. Lastly, if you want to know about the detail architecture of SQL Server, get "Inside SQL Server". If you want to focus on Performance Tuning, this is the best book so far. I will keep both of them by my desk.

Great Tuning Reference
2 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
I have been tuning SQL Server databases for some time, and have not seen such a good reference short of the Inside SQL Server series originated by Ron Soukup.
I strongly recomend this book for everyone creating or maintaining an enterprise database.
