The book contained excellent, concise information for the exam preparation. I also used Transcender, but Transcender's focus was not nearly as good as the book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too many errors in the basics, February 21, 1999

Too many errors in the definitions. Errors in DUMP, LOAD....If I did not have SQL 6.5 at home to test with I never would have caught them. They should do a better job on qualiy control and of reviewing before they publish. I do not recommend this book to use to preprare for the exam.

This book is extremely well written and a must for anyone preparing to take the Microsoft 70-026 Certification Exam!

As an MCT who is certified to deliver the Microsoft 867 (SQL 6.5 Admin) course, I reccomend this book to my students preparing to take the exam to supplement the courseware. I met Rick Sawtell several months ago when he came to teach a VB class at the training center I work for. We got to discussing the books that we suggest our students should read to supplement the courseware in preparation for the SQL exams. Rick told me to check out his book, and I have to admit I was quite impressed!

The book is very well organized and loaded with exam tips. In defense of the authors, the sample questions do seem to be rather simplistic, but that's actually how they are on the exam. Unlike the server and workstation exams, the SQL exam is actually very straight forward. And as far as tips on real world administration, these are good to know,as the Real World isn't as straight forward as Microsoft may want us to believe. Also, they help to further illustrate the exam objectives by example.

Great job guys! I look forward to any future titles!
