Great info not found in the manuals

This book has lots of helpful information that is not otherwise covered in the SQL Server manuals or online documentation. There are plenty of facts and tidbits regarding how to configure SQL Server and use the RDBMS as an application platform, as well as info on how the various configuration parameters play off one another.The section on replication is pretty sparse, though, and doesn't quite jibe with the product itself, since SQLServer's replication is really hard to keep up and running.All in all, found the book to be pure gold, with a wealth of information. This is not a substitute for the manuals though, some experience is assumed. Not a books for novices, not is it a substitute for RTFM. Rather, a complement to the manuals.
