SQL Server 6.5 Admin Guide- Value for money!

This book is an excellent start to learning how to use SQL Server v6.5. It gives an overview of the features that the SQL Administrator would need to know for handling day-to-day tasks and problems with it.I thoroughly recommend this book. Well worth the money! Easy to understand for both beginners and advanced users.

Great handbook for tips and tricks and admin do's and dont's

It is a great book to have when you need to do some admin job and want to have a checklist of what to look out for. The book mainly draws from the authors personal experiences and so is filled with practical tips and what to watch out for. I really like the replication part...

One True Guide from the Gurus!

Among the 6 MSSQL-Server books that I have waded through, everyone of them is good but not everybody has the time and resouces to commit the whole book just for a few programmer-related or administrator-related chapters. Like "Teach Yourself Transact-SQL within 21 days" that accomplishes its objectives to deliver T-SQL entirely at the programming level, this book also delivers by devoting itself essentially to administrating MSSQL-Server. There are a few distinctive features that I like about this book: 1) Every chapter is kept small and makes for assiduous reading easy at one go. 2) The presentation style is highly informal and interactive, focusing on the "you" administator and the tasks on hand. 3) Every section has a "hard-to-miss" header for easy identification of sub-topics. 4) The chapter introduction that highlights and the summary that reviews the core of the chapter without "missing the forest from the trees". 5) The size of the book (469 pages) is not intimidating or demoralizing, which is just about right.
