Summary: Excellent Book
Comment: As somewhat of a newbie to Database Administration I have found this book to be extremely informative. The authors of this book have laid out the basic working structure of SQL Server 2000 in an easily understood way.
I worked for a year with SQL 7 and have been studying and working with SQL Server 2000 for a year in a test lab environment learning how to use it. I passed 70-228 largely due to what I learned from this book.
If you are looking for a how-to book that shows lots of screen shots and just exactly how to accomplish many of the GUI tasks associated with creating and maintaining SQL 2000 this book isn't for you, but if you want to understand how SQL Server 2000 works, well, this is an excellent book.
If you learn conceptually, this is an excellent book. The authors have explained many of the conceptual workings of SQL Server 2000 and then shown examples of the concepts they have explained. I learn by understanding the concepts and then doing the hands on, so for me the way the authors presented the material is easily understandable. For someone who learns first by doing, and then slowly builds his/her understanding of the conceptual workings of the product this would not be a very good book.
Someone else complained that there isn't a lot in this book about XML and the like, well, this book isn't about XML. XML is a separate subject, and this book would have been many hundreds of pages longer than it is now. No author, or authors, can cover every subject associated with a subject as large and as complex as SQL Server 2000. The book would be so large as to be be unusable.

Summary: A Great Resource With Real Life Examples & Code on CD
Comment: A great resource book! The real life examples that are presented in this book and the detail instructions on how to build something with SQL Server 2000 are extremely easy to understand and useful. This book is already helping my employee's build a data replication environment and do some complex data transformations using DTS. Some great example code on the CDROM as well.

Summary: Basically the BOL regurgitated
Comment: I would be surprised if you could find more than, say, 20% of this book that is not also in the online product documentation. It is far too general and shallow to be useful in the real world where most of us live.
