 Great Training Aid May 19, 2008
This book was essential for me as a reference for an MCSE boot camp. It is now part of my reference library. Will answer many questions that pop up during the study process.
 You Need A Lot Of Software To Use This Book April 21, 2008
The selling point of this book is that it is part of the Microsoft Certification process for three certifications. The other thing it seemed to have going for it was a full copy of SQL Server (120 days).
What isn't said anywhere when you read the description and look at its content is that in addition to SQL Server, you will need Microsoft Server 2000, and IIS. Those are a couple of fairly high ticket items IF you can find them.
Microsoft has moved on to 2003 versions of all of the above and consequently it would be better to certify in that version.
If you're looking for a database certification, look to mySQL and PHP, or Postgres SQL. Yes it is linux and unix mostly (Windows versions also available). Certification in any of these is just as valuable and the Microsoft certifications. After spending thirty years in IT, it is certain that Linux and Unix are eventually going to capture the server market.
Back to this particular book. It is a waste of money unless you have one mean machine loaded with Microsoft server, IIS and probably more. If you have such, great. If you don't, take another route.
Pertfect e-commerce business September 3, 2007
In just few words, you exceeded my expectations, in terms of quality of purchase, time for delivery, and follow-up you did excellent job.
Thank you
 Good book for SQL 2000 January 15, 2007
I did not use this book to prep for an exam. Instead I used it for reference and it has been a good source of accurate information.
Not the best book in the world....but i would still keep it! January 14, 2007
I used this book and went through all the 16 chapters.
This book could use some more review and additions from Microsoft. Accompanying CD barely did the job. Examples did help but limited.
You will have to use SQL BOL (Books On Line) to get the deep understanding of the subject.
Passed the test with 864 (86%). So i guess the book worked.
