5 out of 5 stars Review for the RIGHT Edition   January 22, 2007
Hikmer (Santa Barbara)
15 out of 16 found this review helpful

Looks like all the reviews for this book are for SQL 7.0. I have the SQL 2005 version of this book and I have to say it is VERY complete. It is not a rehash of online material, but in depth coverage of essential SQL technologies and system administration. If you want a programming guide, skip this book. If you want to know how SQL works, and what to do if it is broken (better yet, read this book and learn how not to break it first), then buy this book. Essential for any DBA.


5 out of 5 stars Great Reference Book for DBA'a   May 13, 2007

8 out of 8 found this review helpful

My department is in the process of migrating to MS SQL2005 from SQL2000 and this book is a must have for any administrator. If your familar with previous administrator companion books, this one is very similar in nature. The book has already paid for itself in tips in performance configurations. The author's include small 'Real World' sections in most area's that provide a good information and suggestions.

In addition, if you are new to MS SQL2005, this book will provide good background information and review all the concepts that make a good DBA.

Being new to SQL 2005 and a "part time" DBA, this book has helped me with a number of situations I needed to solve. I use it daily.

DelBono Emanuele (Italy)
This is a great book that every developer and dba should read. It start from the installation of SQL Server and touch every little aspect of the configuration and the administration of the server.
Every chapter is well designed and full of important tips.
