5.0 out of 5 stars
I have found this book to be indispensible,
This review is from: Microsoft SQL Server 7 DBA Survival Guide (Paperback)
I love this book. My background is a little unusual -- I've been running Linux for 7 years, and I know very little about running MS servers. I had worked with MySQL, but never with a fully featured commercial SQL engine. When I started running MS-SQL, the confusing part was the administration, not the actual SQL database operations. And this book told me everything I needed to know. It's easy to look up practical "HOWTO" style advice. If you need to setup security, they tell you how. If you need to backup your db (and who doesn't?) they tell you how. If you need to set up replication (which is cooler and more complicated than you'd think) they tell you how. It's easy to find what you need and make it happen with a minimum of hassles and floundering. The discussion of indexes alone is probably worth buying the book. If you run MS-SQL, you should buy this book.

Very Good Reference Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Microsoft SQL Server 7 DBA Survival Guide (Paperback)
I am new to SQL7. I ordered 3 books to help me on the job. This was the most comprehensive of them. I needed help on DTS and SQL Agent, and it was easy to find. This book does not assume a lower level of SQL knowledge, so I could find help on some complex issues. Very good.

Essential for new and seasoned SQL 7 users!,
By Aras Geylani "Aras" (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Microsoft SQL Server 7 DBA Survival Guide (Paperback)
This book has saved my butt while I was having trouble during version 6.5-to-7 upgrading, ODBC Unicode and language headaches and while trying to understand proper application of transactional replication. The sections od database design are very good. As a DBA for a major Turkish user of SQL 7, this book is a good reference. I first look at it before calling online help. It lacks a bit on low-level details when compared to "Inside Microsoft SQL Server 7" by Soukup and Delaney. But, the language here is more business like rather than technical.
