Reader Reviews
Although the book covers the major features it offers little over the online help. What is missing is the overall context or a complete example that might help understanding of how to put everything together into a working application. When it presents triggers and stored procedures the examples are so basic as to not explore the potential power. The chapter on relational database design was particularly lacking in ideas or references. Some of the more powerful features such as metadata and analysis services are barely mentioned. The book did introduce the major administrative functions well. If you do buy the book, do go the authors web site described in the book, to get the "bonus" chapters on installation and security, which should also help a new administrator.
