Great SQL Server 2000 Overview

If you are looking for a book that will provide overview of SQL Server 2000 without diving into too many details - This is the book for you!This book glances through all the main features of SQL Server 2000, providing a very good introduction to all of them. SQL Server 2000 is a very complex, feature rich product. This book does a wonderful job of explaining the various features with out going to too many details that 99% of the users will not need anyway. I especially liked the sections about performance tuning, optimizations and automating administration tasks that provide easy to understand information about those advanced SQL Server features.If you are a full time job SQL Server DBA, you will probably want a more in depth book. All other SQL Server users - Go get this book!

I am not afraid anymore :)

Two thumbs up. My SQL Server is up and running; now I have time to explore things I really need (yes, I had to buy more books)I've read many books that'd done a good job to scare me away from the subject ; this one hides the complexity until one's ready for it.

Good start

Very useful book. Definitely helps to start.

'Tis Worth The Buck!

A good book. Definitely took me longer than 3 days to get through it,but I was off to a good start from the beginning. The chapter on Transact-SQL could be betterand I am not sure why would I need Replication - for now; but again this is "jack-of-all-trades"  kind of a bookWorth its money, in short.

Excellent book for beginners and intermediate level users!!!

I really enjoyed reading the book. Easy to understand, hands on approach and SQL Server 2000 trial edition is included - all I needed to get a jump start.
