With that in mind, a team of experienced Microsoft Certified Professionals provides you with the necessary information to be a more competent and successful database developer or administrator.
Beginning with a foundation that features detailed coverage of typical administrative duties, the authors proceed to explain how to build complex data transformations for data import, build distributed data solutions, and maintain the security and integrity of the database. You will be able to apply what you learn to real-world scenarios, and smoothly navigate the vastly changed landscape of SQL Server 2005 administration.

Just what I needed, Jan 22 2007
By Hard Drive - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beginning SQL Server 2005 Administration (Paperback)
I had not touched a DB box in quite a while, and I was recently handed a SQL 2005 box to manage. This book pretty much covered everything I needed. The writing style is laid back and readable, and they get right to the point, without going off on all sorts tangents. The chapter on Automating Administrative Tasks (Chapter 8) was pure gold.Good stuff.

Great Book!!!, Jan 18 2007
By J. Roach - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beginning SQL Server 2005 Administration (Paperback)
I found this book offers exactly what I needed. I learned how to best manage my SQL 2005 Database Server. I found the information to be accurate and well written, an excellent reference that I've used many times. I really appreciated how the authors used real world experience to relay hard to understand concepts.

Great Book for Beginnners, Jun 19 2007
By Todd Bryant "tabryant" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beginning SQL Server 2005 Administration (Paperback)
This is an awesome book for someone that is new to SQL Server and needs to learn basic administration. The authors did a really good job of explaining the fundamentals in clear simple language.I especially enjoyed the explanation of the storage engine. It made things clear to me that I didn't understand previously.
Listmania!
