December 03, 2004
First, it spends an inordinate amount of time on theory, compared to giving practical examples.
Second (and a truly fatal flaw) is that during the course of the book, the reader is directed to build a database that is essential to reading the following chapters. The reader is encouraged to think theoretically about the general structure of the database, but is given no specifics. Yet specifics are exactly what the later chapters require! If the reader follows the directions, it will become necessary to make numerous structure changes later.
Worse yet, the "correct" database is not included on the CD, nor is it available online. That makes it impossible for the more advanced user to skip chapters that he doesn't need.
This book has become one of my more expensive doorstops.
 I passed the test...,
April 22, 2003I was disappointed that the exam questions on the CD were the same as in the book. I was hoping there would be a different set of questions. I recommend this book if you're just looking to pass the exam and also have access to the course material. It will help reinforce what I learned in the course material in an exam-type way.  good,

If you are able to pass all the tests in the CD, then you will not have problems with the real test. However, as always, some ot the questions are wrong.
The software for the test is not so good, if you just take the test for the third time, half of the questions will be known to you.
Since the main reason you buy this book, is to check your preparation pro-certification, i think i can give it 3 on 5 stars.
If you are italian, you should not take the italian version of the book, it is just written in something different from a language for IT professionals. Not Really Accurate,
March 16, 2003Not much help...,
December 04, 2001 Having passed the SQL Server 6.5 exam, I didn't even find this much help as a review or prep for SQL 2000... Had to get a better book immediately!
