Inside Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Review by Joaquin Menchaca
Decent Surface Overview
I've been scouring this book and found that the there is well written overview of SQL, much like a whitepaper. You'll learn about the types of backup/recovery or replication, but you won't learn the how.
Given the "Inside" in the title, I was hoping this was more in depth and perhaps presented the "HOW". I would recommend this for the sales force for SQL Server or general casual reading, but not for people that want to actually do stuff and need to learn that.
I did like the history of SQL Server section, which I think is invaluable being a history buff, but I thought that it was unnecessarily defensive about Microsoft's business practices. One has to assume that if we are using the product, we are not openly hostile at Microsoft.
