Negative Positive
Title: Good coverage of major administrative activities
Review: This book does a good job of covering the major activities confronting a DBA, such as back-ups, recoveries, creating and using DTS packages, scheduling jobs, etc. Furthermore, the book provides concrete syntax or screen shots as part of the step-by-step descriptions. Overall this is a fine addition to a DBA's library. My only complaint is that in some sections, like configuring mail for SQL Server, it uses only MS software for the examples.
Is the review positive or negative?
