Summary: Price Bad
Review: I studied this book to prepare for the exam. I eventually
realized that the topic needs more detail. I am now
working my way through the EXAM PREP version. If you want
to know the product, study EXAM PREP for THIS situation.Other EXAM CRAM books are ok. SQL 7 is very complicated. Hope this will help you -- Michael

Summary: The worst from Exam Cram
Review: I used Exam Cram to help me pass 5 of my MCSE tests, with great success. Unfortunatly, this one really let me down! This book totally misses any and all of what is covered on 70-028. I ended up reading the Sybex book in order to actually pass this test. If you are looking for a book to help you pass test 70-028, get the Sybex book, not this one. I hope that The Corolis group decided to update this book with some real testing research!

Summary: Please do yourself a favor - Don't buy this book...
Review: I used the Exam Cram series to study for my MCSE tests. All 6 books were very close to the tests and were very well written. I would highly recommend those books. Then came my MCSE+I. I choose SQL, and this Exam Cram book based on the previous Exam Cram books. This book was horrible. From a "technical review" standpoint, aside from the test, it was also horrible. It lacked any structure, and had no correlation to the test questions what-so-ever. This book was written simply by cutting and pasting every possible command line statement and all possible syntax and parameters/switches that relate to these commands. It was like reading the appendix to the SQL user's manual. The test did not have a single command line question - it was all GUI, or rights or replication methodologies and design philosphies. I can not see how this book could possibly be helpful for either the test or the real world. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere... Thank God I had used the Transcender exam as a backup!

Summary: Focus on Command-line while exam is GUI
Review: Pathetic! Hey Garbus! Did you take the same test everybody else did? You focus primaily on syntax. I had a couple of them. You MENTION the GUI applications that use the Stored Procedures. That's what's on the exam! The SP's aren't on the exam. Sure, I can figure out what you are writing about but its an exam CRAM not a "here-is-the-most-efficient-way-to-administer-SQL-Server" lesson from your classes. Hey, guy, if you prefer to work with command-line. Go back to MS-DOS. Do NOT buy book! If you want to cram goto (pun intended): http://leuthard.ch/mcse/braindumps.shtml The Dumps there are great! BTW, I have used Exam Cram for every exam that I have taken (6) and passed. Loved them like a friend with the answer key. No, I don't have the key. This book was pathetic. (The NT Server 4.0 Enterprise was OK.) Enough said.

Summary: Waste of time
Review: The book contains lots of a probably useful info but its coverage of exam topics has a very weak correlation with actual exam questions. It's more than surprising because Exam Cram 029 by the same authors is not bad.

Summary: One of the worst technical books I've ever read
Review: The worst exam cram in the universe. I don't think these guys have any idea about the test or how to prepare for it. Don't even waste your breath asking for the title at the book store, and if somebody hands you a copy for free simply tell them that they can throw it out themselves.
