Review title: Not a good dummies book
Product review: A 'dummies' book is supposed to be written for a person that has no knowledge of the subject. This book is a poor example of that. It assumes, for instance, that you already have a correct installation of SQL server. It does not go into the installation process at all. Many of the 'features' are specifically mentioned followed by a sentence that 'I don't cover XX in this book. For people who are going to look through the table of contents, this is totally misleading.. These are a few items that are 'shown' in the table of contents that this book specifically does NOT cover. Installation, the Profiler, T-SQL, online indexing, Online Page and File Restore, Database Engine Tuning Advisor, Full Text Search, SQLCMD.. Many other features are just briefly described.. To look at the table of contents you would think this book covered it all. I give it a DON'T BUY based on it deceptive practices alone.
