This is an excellent book for a beginner DBA in SQL Server 2008. CD included.
 Good start with, but if you have already started -- worthless January 20, 2010

Simple style, not much on anything really, but as usual for the Step-by-step series it walk you through the whole lot.
I got this book together with some others and don't think will even open it again.
I have not actually read it, as you imagine, just skipped through and realised that it's a bit late for me to read it.
The book it only suitable to someone who wants to start learning MS SQL straight from 2008 and has almost no prior knowledge of relational databases, or came from MS ACCESS space.
good book for starters January 7, 2010

good book for starters. would have been great if there are more examples to practice with.
Scripts don't work but otherwise .... September 4, 2009

5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I'm only on page 93 and already there are 2 scripts that don't work. Because I'm new to SQL this is a major setback because I have to now try to find a resource to help me resolve the problems until I can move forward. I have checked the errata but no mention of these broken scripts.
The author does a great job of making complex topics easy to understand and the book is organized well. The content seems to be most of what any beginning SQL admin would need to know.
I recommend the book but aware you will have trouble with the scripts.
 Book has too many editting flaws June 29, 2009

Hemmingway provides a very accurate assessment of this book. My annoyment level though is much higher. The inaccuracy, poor editing, typo's, omissions, examples different from the text make this book more of 1.5 stars. Unless you want to spend of lot of time dealing with editing issues, skip this book.
