Negative Positive
Title: Brilliant. Simply brilliant
Review: This is a must-have for any *serious* SQL 6.5 DBA or developer. It is not the only book you must have, it does NOT explain how to use SQL Server (hence the bad review given by someone who had never used it). It explains, very clearly, how it works, and what happens under the bonnet. Reading it really gave me a very clear understanding of what goes on, which means I can use it better, more efficeintly etc. There is a great section on Query optimisation, which I've just started, but so far so good.If you want to learn how to use SQL Server, get Wynkoop's "Using SQL Server 6.5 Special Edition", if you've got that or similar, and want to know more, get this one.
Is the review positive or negative?
