5.0 out of 5 stars Well written, worth your while to learn SQL Server, Dec 12 2003

Tommy (Naperville, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Microsoft SQL Server 2000 in 21 Days (Paperback)

This is a well written book that covers a lot of topics...in the end you'll have a very clear understanding of SQL Server 2K from both the administration and programming perspectives.

I disagree with the other reviews posted on here about this book being too wordy or poorly organized. Perhaps those folks work for Oracle :-) There is a lot of material covered in this book, and for the most part, it's concise and doesn't adopt a condescending attitude towards the reader.

In my search to learn SQL Server, I've found this book to rank at the top for general coverage of most of the DBA and programmer/user topics you encounter.

Worth your time to read, and money to spend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the Investment, May 3 2001

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Microsoft SQL Server 2000 in 21 Days (Paperback)

Are you desiring to become a competent DBA, pass the related MCP exam, get hands on experience with and understand the general methodology of all features, or just dabble with some basic Transact SQL on SQL Server 2000 look no further. The book is written for persons with no to intermediate experience but the information contained within is applicable to all skill levels. The delivery of information is depicted in a clear and concise manner. The authors have definitely been around the block with previous versions of Microsoft SQL Server. Their experiences conveyed are instrumental in your present and future employment plus will save you valuable time that can be utilized more wisely elsewhere. My thoughts are if you desire to build a house you need to build a strong foundation first. If you don't you'll have ongoing structural problems and a leaking roof etc. This book will provide you with a strong foundation if you work through and apply its teachings. Prior to purchasing this book I've implemented and supported approximately thirty plus databases on Microsoft SQL Server 6x and 7 and one on 2000.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as Microsoft's on-line help., Jun 20 2003

Marvin Fretwell (Boring, OR United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Microsoft SQL Server 2000 in 21 Days (Paperback)

This is a very poorly written book. It wastes thousands of words telling the reader what it is going to tell you...and then...after all the build up...it doesn't tell you as much as the built-in SQL help files. The writing is often obtuse, and sometimes cryptic. Microsoft's on-line help gives more information, more concisely. This book does not live up to SAMS books reputation.

1.0 out of 5 stars For beginners -only-.
This is the most useless book I've ever purchased. It rambles on from "what is a databse?" to "cost threshold for parallelism" without ever covering something... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent coverage of the topics, but lacks organization
I have no doubt that the authors of this book are very experienced at development and admin of SQL Server 2000 and earlier versions. Read more
