Summary: Excellent learning and reference tool from start to finish.
Comment: I was in the middle of the MOC SQL 7.0 class and being a newbie, my brain was feeling like mush. On the second day the instructor recommended this book. I checked out the reviews. This book has made it so easy to understand everything that is going on in class. I'm not of fan of "Learn x in x Days", but this book is awesome!!! I highly recommend it if you're new to SQL Server!

Summary: A great place to start
Comment: This work does a good job of showing you how to use the major features of MS SQL Server 7.0. It describes how to install and configure SQL Server, indicating along the way platform-specific constraints and limitations, the implications of configuration choices, as well as recommended settings.
It contains many great examples and screen shots, many from a beta release, but the author is up front about that fact.
I disagree with the preface which says that this book will teach you how to be an SQL Server Administrator. What this book will teach you is how to use the tools and administrator will use which is 50% of what you need to know. The other 50% will come from on-the-job training as well as other less tool-oriented texts in database design, security, and programming.
The cover blurb does better job: Learn the skills and concepts to master SQL Server 7.0 in just 21 days.

Summary: It's worth the money
Comment: I bought this book after reading the reviews. My boss told me to research on SQL Server 7 because our Foxpro tables are now more than 2GB in sizes and still growing. This book helped me on how to install SQL Server 7, configure it then setup the databases. I then started to import our Foxpro databases directly using DTS. Then I learned the data types and how they differ from Foxpro's field types. Their explanation on data types is clearer than the BOL. I must add though that I still use BOL with this book whenever I run into a wall or something. It's really a beginner's book so guys, buy it. My boss is happy I'm making progress in just a week of installing and using this book. They even reimbursed the cost of the book to me.
