Reader Reviews
I am only about 150 pages into this book, most of it so far has been a review of SQL Server basics that most people who have used SQL Server will be familiar with. One bad thing that I have noticed so far are that many of the diagrams are incorrect, tables and columns misnamed etc. Also some of the information in the begining was a little to much on the sales side, the discussion of what SQL Server is for example: "The SQL Server 2000 relational database engine is a modern, highly scalable engine for storing data." pg. 11 I have finally finished this book, and I have to say I was expecting better. There were many gramatical errors, and many times when I had to re-read a section of the book because the wording was awkward. The review section at the back of the book seems to be very good, the questions are somewhat challenging and the answer explanataions are very helpful. However, you will have to do some research into SQL BOL to help find some of the more obscure questions or answers. Such as what types of Join operations are performed by the query optimizer? (Answer: Nested Loop Joins, Merge Joins, and Hash Joins)
