This book is unique. It doesn't read like all the other Sql Server books I have. Its totally different and fresh. The expert discussions of statistical functions in the language is like nothing else I've ever read. The full-text discussion, the Ole Automation discussion, and the undocumented chapter are all first rate. I loved the null values chapter and the DML/DDL chapters. They are also first rate.I can't think of a better value for the money than this book. It's very tight, and every page has some new tidbit that you'll be glad you read.

I use(d) this book as the basis towards my WIN2K MCDBA...It is superior to anything out there including Microsoft's Official MCSE [Exam 70-228] SQL Server 2000 SA Training Kit... includes everything one needs assuming one immerses oneself in the book from Day 1 through Day 21 in addition to Day 22 (SQL Server Analysis Services (OLAP)) and Day 23 (English Query).It is both a superior reference book and programmer's guide. After purchasing Microsoft's official references I found myself repeatedly (frustrated by their shortcomings and referring back to this particular SAMS text). Enough cannot be said about this book.

I was developing two websites using PHP3 and MySQL so I bought this book to help: wrong. It's a disaster. It's been three months since I bought the book and I've gotten zero information from it. Today I tried to find out how to get the date, the index doesn't have date or time listed. It doesn't help with putting data in, or getting data out of forms or databases. Save your money.

This is a extremely good book to learn PHP and MySQL from scratch, as I did. It provides absolutely wonderful real-world examples, and half the book is full of complete projects ranging from creating your own forums, to making your own web-based email service. Very well done.The only gripe I have with it is that I wish it went deeper into session control using PHP.

My use of this Microsoft SQL Server 7 DBA manual was limited to the installation and initial setup function. I found it to be very accessible and user friendly. The descriptions of the databases and their functions (along with the illustrations) are worth the value of the book. The book and the software might be dated but it is still a valuable resource and I recommend it highly.Miguel Llora
