Summary: not enough by itself
Review: I just got out of 70-228, having failed for the second time in a row. I used this guide AND the Transcender tests, and still failed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you say... Must be his fault. I'd be inclined to think so myself, but I'm an MCSE and an MCSD for .NET, part of which was 70-229, and I know the whole certification drill by heart. I've reviewed the areas where I did the worst, looked for the topics in the book, and found the book to have pretty thin coverage. It's still a pretty good book, and the format is effective, hence the 3 stars, but the results speak for themselves. I'm off to the store to see the Micrsoft materials for this topic, which got very rare rave reviews.

Summary: Good Tutorial, Bad Test Prep
Review: I really enjoyed this book. It's explaniations are incredibly good and it explains SQL Server very well.However, the exam questions suck. Two Examples: Page 230: Question 4 - It says the correct answer is D, but there is no such command as sp_grantaccess ( It should be sp_grantdbaccess ) Page 232: Question 8 - again, there is no such command as sp_activateapprole, it's sp_setapprole. I could go on, but it's really frustrating trying to use a book for an exam when it misleads like this.
