4.0 out of 5 stars Very misleading title!, 18 Jun 2008

By	Mr. Ian W. Stirk (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've just finished reading the "Development in SQL Server" section of this book (i.e. 40% of the total book).

I assumed the book related solely to SQL Server 2008. The book's introduction, forward, back cover content, and free downloadable chapter 1 led me to that belief.

However, the book relates to both 2005 and 2008, and frustratingly it typically does not say what features belong to which database version.

I wanted a book that showed me what was new in SQL Server 2008, I know what is in 2005, I have several books on it! I think the publishers etc have been very misleading with this book's title.

That said, the content of the book is very good.

The book is large (784 pages) and heavy. A book containing SQL Server 2008 only content would perhaps contain only 300 pages, and be more convenient to read and carry.

The book's real title is "Accelerated SQL Server 2005 and 2008"

1.0 out of 5 stars Not as described - very disappointed., 17 Oct 2008

By	M. Hammond (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I totally agree with the previous comment - I too bought this book to get up to speed quickly on what's new in SQL Server 2008, and I am very disappointed that it includes 2005 features as well with nothing to separate the two versions. Also there are a number of places in the text where it says 'at the time of writing...', which makes me wonder whether the book may not even based on the final, shipping version of SQL Server 2008 but on some pre-release version.
