3.0 out of 5 stars Once excellent series goes average, July 21, 1999

Glen Kendell (Seattle) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 Unleashed (Paperback)

Why is everyone giving this book such high marks? SQL 7.0 unleashed is a decent reference which covers the basics but not much else.

The SQL unleashed series took a step back. I'm very disappointed that this incredible reference has now become simply average. Don't get rid of your SQL 6.5 unleashed...you'll still need it! The 6.5 edition was a masterful tome which included all kinds of wondeful info that couldn't be found anywhere else. The 7.0 book is sparse on the very details that made the 6.5 version so endearing.

By the way...David Soloman is not an author on this book (as listed above). In fact this is an entirely different team of writers than were on 6.5. Two of the heros of 6.5 edition, Spenik and Sledge are the authors of the top SQL book on my desk: SQL 7.0 DBA Survival Guide.

4.0 out of 5 stars A bit below Unleashed standards, October 15, 1999

Brandon G. Behrens (brandon@deltav.net) (United States, Georgetown, Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 Unleashed (Paperback)

This book was a tad dissappointing to me. Maybe that is because of the standards I have come to expect from the unleashed series. In my opinion, the 6.5 sql server unleashed book is more thorough. While this book is still a good reference, it does not provide the in-depth coverage of the more advanced topics that everyone has come to expect from the unleashed team.

4.0 out of 5 stars SQL Server 7 Unleashed, May 29, 2000

Cyril Pinto (Pakistan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 Unleashed (Paperback)

This was my first Unleashed series book. I was studying for my MCP in SQL Server 7, Using the Microsoft Official Curriculum. I decided to purchase this book in order to fill in the gaps. I a great book. No doubt about it. Chapters on Transactions, Locks, Indexing, VLDBS etc.. were great. I think I am an MCP in SQL Server today because of this book. Even though this book is written by many authors, you don't feel it. Buy it now.
