4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference, August 6, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: SQL Server 2000 Fast Answers for DBAs and Developers (Paperback)

This book is a must have to a DBA. It contains all the little gotchas in managing SQL Server. All the items that we come across while searching for something that I think"Man I gotta remember that". 99% of them are in this book, so I don't have to print them out and maintain a seperate library.

Not a book to buy if you are looking something to read to learn SQL Server. This is a reference for someone who already is using it extensivly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Immediately Useful, June 11, 2003

By	Kevin Carlson (Everett, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: SQL Server 2000 Fast Answers for DBAs and Developers (Paperback)

Not a tutorial, but a practical working guide to administering SQL Server 2000. Lots of "How to" items covered.

You don't need to read the entire book in order to benefit from it. Specific topics are covered using Checklists to make sure you don't miss anything important. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best detailed MS SQL Reference book I've found, May 9, 2003

By	Kurt J. Unzicker (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: SQL Server 2000 Fast Answers for DBAs and Developers (Paperback)

A must for the SQL Administrator's library. The book is very detailed and had saved me many hours of research and troubleshooting within 2 weeks of purchasing it. More helpful than O'Reilly or Sams
