Microsoft SQL Server(tm) 2000 Administrator's Companion (IT-Administrator's Companion) Review by Douglas Cotton
I wish the other two reviews
I wish that the two most recent reviews of this book had been written before I bought this book. This book is a waste of time. As the other two reviewers have stated, the majority of the book is stepping the user through Wizards. How anybody can call this a good book for experienced DBA's is beyond me. Anybody who is technical or has a lot of experience will find this book a waste of time and money. I will definitely be waiting for more reviews of Microsoft Press books before I buy them again in the future. I think that I must have bought this because it was one of the first books to be released on SQL 2000.
If I had to say something good about this book, it is graphically pleasing. Lots of pictures of the screens as it steps you through the wizards. This book might help a lot if you're the company stud at Excel and they suddenly promote you to network administrator and you're looking at SQL for the first time.
This book is defintely a newbie book.
