Customer Reviews

Outstanding Overview

As I've found to be true for most of the Mastering series of technical publications, the Mastering SQL Server 2000 was outstanding. Especially good for a technically adept IT professional looking for an introduction to the intracacies of SQL Server.

Very good book

This book covers heaps of basic and advanced practical techniques in Sql Server 2000. I have been benefiting a lot for my DBA job from this book. Strongly recommended!

The best overall general reference

Mastering SQL Server 2000 is one of the books that I see carried the most often onto a client site when doing SQL technical support. The text covers just about every aspect of SQL from a setup and administrative point of view as well as the basics of database theory. If you want a single general reference then this book works very well. On the other hand, if you want a detailed reference on programming SQL then there are better texts. The book covers the administration of an SQL Server in great detail including explaining why you would use a particular feature and why you may not want to use it in a different scenario. For setting up a system and managing it this book it hard to beat.Whether you are a new user, experienced user or an administrator, this book is hard to beat for theory, detailed information and administration of a Windows SQL Server 2000 system. Highly recommended read and required on any administrator's bookshelf.

The title is MASTERING SQL SERVER 2000

This is solely for the first review to balance things out a bit - the book is not Mastering ASP - you need Professional ASP 3.0 by Wrox Press for that. Review the book for how it handles the product for which it was written. I just bought the book today and will post a review when I'm done - but I wanted to clarify #1's problem.
