Customer Reviews

Great coverage of SQL Server Data Warehousing topics

I bought this book after searching for a good practical and design guide to the new data warehousing tools in SQL Server 2000. While not perfect none of the other tomes that I own on SQL Server do justice to this topic which is very hot in database circles these days.

A Good Addition to Books Online

I don't have much of a need for the first few chapters of the book. They detail how to convert to SQL Server from another RDBMS platform. However, I know others have found the text useful. What I did find of value were the parts of the book which covered day-to-day operations, disaster recovery, and handling BLOBs. Security was decent, but not very fleshed out. It's a great addition to Books Online.

Comprehensive and Essential

It's a crying shame that Microsoft's best documentation is for sale rather than free in online help.

Essential Resource

This is not a "how to" book or a training manual, but a full on reference companion to books online, and a must for anyone serious about SQL Server.It's worth getting for the book alone, but the software is excellent. A HTML view of the system tables, and a slew of tools make this THE definitive companion to Books Online.

Nice add-on book for your library

The book is well written for a deeper understanding of sql 2000, it really helped fill in a few blanks and a few things a engineer sometimes overlooks with the overload of chores and tasks most of us now have.I use this book along with the stored procedures and tuning and optimization for our corporate library.If you need cold hard facts about your sql 2000 server then this book is for you.
