Focus on Command-line while exam is GUI,

This review is from: MCSE Administering SQL Server 7 Exam Cram (Exam: 70-028) (Paperback)
Pathetic! Hey Garbus! Did you take the same test everybody else did? You focus primaily on syntax. I had a couple of them. You MENTION the GUI applications that use the Stored Procedures. That's what's on the exam! The SP's aren't on the exam. Sure, I can figure out what you are writing about but its an exam CRAM not a "here-is-the-most-efficient-way-to-administer-SQL-Server" lesson from your classes. Hey, guy, if you prefer to work with command-line. Go back to MS-DOS.Do NOT buy book! If you want to cram goto (pun intended): http://leuthard.ch/mcse/braindumps.shtml The Dumps there are great! BTW, I have used Exam Cram for every exam that I have taken (6) and passed. Loved them like a friend with the answer key. No, I don't have the key. This book was pathetic. (The NT Server 4.0 Enterprise was OK.) Enough said.

This review is from: MCSE Administering SQL Server 7 Exam Cram (Exam: 70-028) (Paperback)
I question whether the authors took the beta exam or the live exam. This book is so heavy on syntax that it completely misses the mark. While it is good to know the syntax and how to do things in query analyzer, this is not what the test is about. None of the GUI tools are covered.This book really falls down when it comes to questions given on the live exam from the perspective of "You're the consultant on site. How would you do this? Or this is what was done, will it work?" If you want to study for the exam then I suggest the following: Use McSe : Sql Server 7 Administration: Training Guide : Exam : 70-028 (The Training Guide Series) ~ Brad McGehee, et al / Hardcover / Published 1999 OR MCSE: SQL Server 7 Administration Study Guide ~ Lance Mortensen, Rick Sawtell / Hardcover / Published 1999 Use Transcender Use Books Online or better yet buy the actual documentation set. Good Luck!! Steven C. Grigsby, MCSE, MCT, MCP+I

Don't waste your money,
By A Customer
This review is from: MCSE Administering SQL Server 7 Exam Cram (Exam: 70-028) (Paperback)
This book represents a low point in the Exam Cram series. I have utilized six other Exam Cram books with good results in preparing for my MCSE tests. For the most part they were right on the number. However, having taken the 70-028 Administering SQL Server 7.0 test, it is apparent that the author of this book either did not take the test himself before completing the book, or simply chose to ignore the test as a benchmark of what to write about. In a word, as a test prep resource this book is a very weak presenter of what is actually encountered in Microsoft's SQL 7.0 Admin test.
