Title: Not a COMPLETE waste of time
Review: I don't agree with the other review on here that says this book is a complete waste of time. There are a few bright spots here and there. If you're very new to SQL Server, you may find, say, 5% of the book to be useful and to pass on info that you won't find in the Books Online.However, I do agree that the narrative is pretty uneven at times. You can definitely tell that more than one person wrote this book (e.g., when you see completely different code formatting on the SAME page :-).I didn't get much out of the book myself, hence the two-star review. Then again, I'm an advanced SQL Server developer (MCDBA) who's been working with the product for about two years now. The book was definitely beneath me, but if you're just starting with SQL Server you might learn a few things from it.
Is this product review negative?
