Negative Positive
Title: Great discussion of concepts
Review: The discussion of "core" concepts in this book was extremely well written and insightful. This is definitely not a stand-alone book for those interested in the inner workings of SQLServer as they relate to designing and optimizing databases. Rather, it gives a great foundation for moving on to those subjects through clear coverage of the data storage and architecture models as well as many of the great monitoring tools available to SQLServer7. All-in-all, this book is a great starting place for building an understanding of SQLServer and its underlying architecture.
