2.0 out of 5 stars This book is for a beginner, June 10, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Mastering SQL Server 2000 Security (Gearhead Press--In the Trenches) (Paperback)
If you are a dba with I would say less than 1-2 years experience, then maybe get this book. For a seasoned dba, its going to be a big disappointment. I was expecting explanations at a much more granular level covering much more complex topics. Its basically a primer on how to do the most basic things via the gui (oh, and by the way there is a stored procedure way to do things too). If you are new to SQL Server EM and are unfamiliar with the menus, wizards, and the gui, then it might be a good "get me out of the frying pan quickly" book. And I say "might" because most people can figure things out just by going through the gui and looking at Books Online. The most useful chapter, I found, was the auditing chapter. Some things the authors point out about security I would actually disagree with if I was building a "highly" secure system. For example, which accounts to put in the admins group. For what its worth, I got a lot more from the MS site believe it or not.
