This book is intended for the intermediate/advanced database user. If you are a begineer with database concepts, pass this one up. I have about 1 year of Access programming and this book is exactly what I need to get up to speed with SQL 7. What I like about this book is that it spends a lot of time with the Transact-SQL admin commands, as opposed to just listing the "point and click" method.
Great Foundation --easy to read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
To the person who gave this book one star: This book does what it is supposed to do and does it well. It is a well written 700 page book that builds a foundation. If you want a 2000-3000 page book that answers every detail of every question use Books-on-line. I've passed a number of tests from Microsoft. I am using this book to give me an easy to understand 700 page overview then I will use a test study guide to reenforce what I have learned. Everyone says you need three sources to pass this test. A book like this, a study guide, and extensive use of Books-on-line. Experience also helps. It is supposed to be one of Microsofts hardest tests.
Currently the best SQL 7.0 book on the market..
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I had to start studying for the SQL Server 7.0 exam and needed some reference material while waiting for MS's training kits to come out. I bought this with a little trepidation - but once i got it home i'm glad i did!! Excellent book - very concise and thorough. And the fact it includes the software makes it even better (if that's possible)...don't hesitate like i did!! Go for it!!

Here is another great book by Wynkoop. I thought the 6.5 book would be the book that I would never have leave my shelfs, Them came this one.
