4.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction and overview, October 20, 1999

By A Customer

"Using SQL Server 7" is a good book for beginners and still very useful when you got more experience. It describes the features clearly and also gives a lot of good examples. It's one of the best book about the SQL Server 7 I've seen.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction of SQL server 7.0, February 19, 1999

By A Customer

I totally agree with one of the reviewers. This book covers everything but definitely not a how-to book. Read it if you need to have a snapshot of SQL server 7.0. If you look for a training book (for MCDBA), look elsewhere.

2.0 out of 5 stars "ADMINISTRATING SQL Server 7.0", February 11, 2000

By	Ronald B. Kunce "Ron Kunce" (Springfield IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found the publishers synopsis, and espcially the book's title to be very misleading! USING SQL Server 7.0 . . . it is not! The authors start out with "This book is written for IT professionals who want to learn how to administer SQL Server 7" in the introduction, and in chapter one they point out it is for those who want to become a SQL Server Database Administrator (DBA). "Using" SQL Server 7.0 implies to me a totally different view point. I was looking for something in an introductry guide for "users", and developers, to compliment my higher-level SQL Server Programming manual. Instead I found it is an introductry DBA manual. Even in itself, this is contradictory, as prospective DBA's require "in-depth" knowledge that this book is lacking.
