Microsoft SQL Server(TM) 7.0 Performance Tuning Technical Reference (It-Microsoft Technical Reference)

Rating:
Summary: Good tips, but errors...
Review: I found this book to be an OK reference. However, the author has mistakes in the treatment of RAID levels for DASD. Nice high level view of queuing theory and the basics of using histograms for analysis.

Summary: A Great book for a SQL Server 7.0 DBA.
Review: I have been tuning SQL Server databases for some time, and have not seen such a good reference short of the Inside SQL Server series originated by Ron Soukup.

I strongly recomend this book for everyone creating or maintaining an enterprise database.

Summary: A few tips, but not worth buying
Review: If you find yourself navigating the online bible (SQL Books Online) to figure something out then you are better off buying something else. I was dissapointed that no value was added beyond what you can get from the online books.
