5.0 out of 5 stars Must for DBAs, March 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 DBA Survival Guide (Paperback)

Last week I had to migrate from Oracle 8 to SQL Server 2000 and this book came in very handy. The chapters are well composed; especially about networking is easy to read and understand. The examples throughout the book are excellent and the case studies are good too. It could have more questions based on real life settings for prcatice. Anyway this is a great reference book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for new DBA's, December 9, 2004

By	Kristin Ferrier "starrynight100" (Oklahoma City, OK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book upcoming becoming a SQL Server DBA. I had three years programming experience which included T-SQL, however, NO DBA experience! It provided excellent explanations of DBA tasks, especially the all important database backups and restorations. I did not require any other book resources. I highly recommend it for those entering the DBA field.

Side note: I only used this book for industry experience and have not used it towards an attempt at MCDBA certification. I have since read the MCSE SQL Server 2000 Administration Guide for Dummies and found the SQL Server 2000 DBA Survival Guide to provide more detail on certain subjects.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, July 1, 2001

By	Lefty "Lefty" (TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 DBA Survival Guide (Paperback)

This is a huge book with lots of information. I liked the presentation and the author knows what he is talking about on a very large subject.

My only complaint is that I wish the author had written more from a tips and tricks style, or added a section like that.
