 Fantastic Resource! March 12, 2008
wgh (NJ)
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
This is a great book! It is very well written and the material presented in a consitent and logical manner.
Some of the material I knew before picking up this book. Since this would be my first MS cert, I read every section of the book. For the topics I already knew, I was impressed by how well Darril boiled the material down to the essence, the central point that you needed to learn. I was hoping that he'd do the same for the areas I did not know. I passed all three tests and this book was the reason.
Read every page. Do every hands-on example. Review the exam tips and you'll not only pass the test but actually be able to do the work.
Excellent Resource for 70-447 Upgrade Exam August 29, 2008

I used this book as my primary study/refresher resource to prepare for (and pass) the 70-447 upgrade exam. If you are an MCDBA on SQL 2000, and looking for a resource to for the MCDBA upgrade exam, this is the perfect resource! Very clear, concise coverage of all the exam topics. Each chapter has a bullet list listing the topics covered in each exam. Although the 70-447 exam isn't specifically targeted, you can approximate it by combining the 70-443 and 70-444 topics.

This book is the best technical book I have ever read! I am really impressed with the quotes at the beginning of each chapter, I found them to be very motivational. The book was very easy to read, in fact it read like a onversation. The examples were real helpful as well.

Great Books for Testing or Reference October 5, 2007
A. Nielsen (Silicon Valley, USA)
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is the book I've been waiting for. Not only does the book have good explanations about many of the testable concepts, but the exercises have been great in showing me exactly how things work. As an example, I didn't really understand database mirroring, but the high availability strategies chapter included exercises where I was able to implement and configure a database mirror. After completing these exercises, I really understood database mirroring.
Helped with passing all three certifications May 30, 2010

Did an excellent job describing the areas covered by the tests. Practice tests provided on the CD and additional downloadable tests mapped to the cert tests pretty well. Made it easy to identify weaker areas for more focused study. Online test covers all three tests, is not broken down by exam.
The content in the book is not exhaustive, so do not expect that the book alone will get you through the tests. Experience and self study beyond the book's content are necessary for success. But this book gives you the guidance to know what to look for, and where you need to drill deeper.
