5.0 out of 5 stars Great discussion of concepts, July 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: MCSE Administering SQL Server 7 Exam Prep (Exam: 70-028) (Hardcover)

The discussion of "core" concepts in this book was extremely well written and insightful. This is definitely not a stand-alone book for those interested in the inner workings of SQLServer as they relate to designing and optimizing databases. Rather, it gives a great foundation for moving on to those subjects through clear coverage of the data storage and architecture models as well as many of the great monitoring tools available to SQLServer7. All-in-all, this book is a great starting place for building an understanding of SQLServer and its underlying architecture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended!, July 13, 2000

Stefan Fouant "Technical Trainer, Juniper Net... (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: MCSE Administering SQL Server 7 Exam Prep (Exam: 70-028) (Hardcover)

This book more than prepared me to take my SQL server exam. Not only that, I use this book on an almost daily basis during my day-to-day operations of managing several SQL servers as the backend of a major e-commerce web-site.

I recommend this book to anyone who wishes not only to pass the exam, but just to learn SQL server or to have an invaluable resource to be used on the job. A big thumbs up to Brian Talbert for providing a clear, concise roadmap for those of us wishing to attain the highly lauded MCSE. I will impatiently await your next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Explain in good detail!, February 17, 2001

Jimmy Choi (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: MCSE Administering SQL Server 7 Exam Prep (Exam: 70-028) (Hardcover)

This book explains SQL admin stuff in good detail and step by step. It almost covers all the exam material (except full-text search).

If you feel you miss something for specified topic even after reading this book, review that topic in SQL book online.

This book + review the SQL Book online = Pass this exam

Possibly a good intro for a newbee, but not detailed enough to be useful for exam prep. Practice tests not rigorous enough.

Minor errors indicate sloppy proofreading.
