Rating:  - Good primer for a SQL 2000 Admin
I had been out of SQL 2K for several years and had a project that came up that fit best with a lot of the features of 2005. This book was a good read, lots of good examples, and got me back into the swing of things. The project went well and this book gave me the foundation I needed.
Rating:  - Great Book
You get a lot for your money with this book. I'm surprised that there are not more reviews.
Great job guys!
Rating: - Not even close to covering the material.
I am an experienced Sql Server 2000 DBA, and as I get more involved with 2005 the more this book falls short. This is because 2005 is so much more complex than 2000 that a single 700 page book simply does not cover the material. Simple things like schema ownership and management is glossed-over in the book when in fact it is a huge subject. Buy this book as it is useful, but plan on buying the Microsoft books and reading them soon. 2005 marks a major change and you can not afford to be left behind.
