4.0 out of 5 stars A good study guide, Nov 28 2001

By

Jacqueline Williams (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: McDba SQL Server 7.0 Administration Study Guide: (Exam 70-28) (Hardcover)

An ok study guide for the Admin test. It focuses on the subjects on the test, and gives an idea of the depth covered in the test. Test questions are often very ambiguous, this book somtimes is too. Other sources, like MSDN, help to work out the ambiguities. Not to be used as a reference book for real SQL DBA's, it's not comprehensive enough. Also not for newcomers, large databases should be familiar.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible book -- does not prepare you for the Exams, Feb 21 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: McDba SQL Server 7.0 Administration Study Guide: (Exam 70-28) (Hardcover)

This book attempts to put you in the exam frame-of-mind, but it does far from that. The exams in this book are nowhere near the level you'll see on your real tests; the facts are built from a beta version of SQL, not even the real software.

Lots of typos, factual errors -- use the "Readiness Review" book and BOL -- you'll have far better luck with those. Save your money.

This review is from: McDba SQL Server 7.0 Administration Study Guide: (Exam 70-28) (Hardcover)

I was extremeley disapointed with this book. It has a lot of mistakes and poorly written. Coriolis book by Talbert is much, much, better. That one actually helped me.
