3.0 out of 5 stars I passed the exam using this book, but be careful., July 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: McSe Training Guide: SQL Server 6.5 Design and Implementation (Textbook Binding)

I used this book as my main source for studying for the SQL Server Implementation & Design exam. However, it does not cover all the necessary subjects, especially record locking. Also this book is full of errors. Be very careful when using their practice exams, you will flunk the Certification Exam based on their answers. I wondered if they ever hired a proofreader. Also the questions on the back of each chapter are something to be desired.

If you use this book, supplement it with the Transcender or Beachfront Quizzer sample tests. If you can get someone to lend you the MS SQL Server Resource Kit, it will make up for what is missing in this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not sufficient to pass the exam, June 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: McSe Training Guide: SQL Server 6.5 Design and Implementation (Textbook Binding)

A good start to passing the exam but not enough. I missed passing on my first try by one question. Grief. Book is weak on triggers which the exam hit heavily. The practice tests are frustrating and contain errors. You'd be better off using a Microsoft Press Book and Transcender

This review is from: McSe Training Guide: SQL Server 6.5 Design and Implementation (Textbook Binding)

I found this book hard to use. The way they laid out the system and database catalogs was worthless. The examples were sparse to non-existent in the latter chapters (deadline approaching, maybe). The indexing chapters were almost informative enough to be useful. STILL, it's good enough to pass the test.
