Pretty good, but... - 2009-10-22
Reviewer Rating:
The book and content are pretty good, however there seems to be too many mistakes for the author and publisher to have actually verified the content. The inaccurate chapter tests are a little troublesome. One answer indicated to use the sp_filestream_configure option to turn on filestreaming. This doesn't exist, you need to use sp_configure with the appropriate option! When configuring database options you may need to turn on advanced options (sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1). Also (and this is not an isssue with the book), I see that installation of the AdventureWorks sample database via the downloaded msi install is hit or miss. It was a miss for me. Instead I downloaded the scripts in the zip file, modified the sql script for the DW database and manually loaded it. I havn't tried the test engine yet, so I don't know how accurate that is. Hope this information helps someone. This book seems overall reasonably good in the chapter steps, just beware that you may have to wing it a bit here and there (what else is new in IT?). I'll try to put in another review if I pass (or not) the exam and how helpful this was towards that goal.

When you start out much of it isnt going to work if you just do what the book says.

I am working on upgrading my skills and preparing for the 70-432 exam. This book was very comprehensive, covering all of the topics that I needed. Having the eBook and the practice tests was very helpful.

This book is one of the best SQL Server books - 2009-08-12
Reviewer Rating:
If you are looking a technical book to learn SQL Server 2008 rather than to learn English, this is one of the best books with lots of real world examples.
