5.0 out of 5 stars Review for the RIGHT Edition, January 22, 2007
By Hikmer (Santa Barbara) - See all my reviews
Looks like all the reviews for this book are for SQL 7.0. I have the SQL 2005 version of this book and I have to say it is VERY complete. It is not a rehash of online material, but in depth coverage of essential SQL technologies and system administration. If you want a programming guide, skip this book. If you want to know how SQL works, and what to do if it is broken (better yet, read this book and learn how not to break it first), then buy this book. Essential for any DBA.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reference Book for DBA'a, May 13, 2007
By Alan Flaesgarten (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My department is in the process of migrating to MS SQL2005 from SQL2000 and this book is a must have for any administrator. If your familar with previous administrator companion books, this one is very similar in nature. The book has already paid for itself in tips in performance configurations. The author's include small 'Real World' sections in most area's that provide a good information and suggestions.

In addition, if you are new to MS SQL2005, this book will provide good background information and review all the concepts that make a good DBA.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Companion..., November 4, 2007
By Kumar Kaji (Irving, Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have read the book as a pro.. i do have been working with sql server for a number of years now. So going thru the initial sections was pretty quick... i am quite impressed with the format and the step by step approach to a number of configuration procedures which is not so common and where it hurts the most.

Enjoy reading...

Kumar
