September 28, 2006Best IT Book I Ever Read,
May 05, 2006 This book is an amazingly clear and concise book, especially for the "non-gurus" among us. The explanations of general topics like normalization, the history of markup languages (in the XML section) are so well written you could give them to management and even they would understand what you are doing (maybe that's not such a good idea). Full of tidbits like why transaction logs grow so much faster than data files. Nielson writes about SQL Server 2000 as used in the real world, not just as an interesting piece of technology. Bravo! I would give it 10 stars if I could. I leave nitpicking to the gurus.Great for reading and as a reference guide,
March 16, 2006 Very complete and illustrating. I am happy to have it on my desktop. Very Good Book,

Thanks a lot Mr. NeilsenVery Good Book for SQL Server DBA,
December 31, 2005 Currently I am preparing for the exam 70-229 and I studied a lot of SQL Server 2000 Books. But "SQL Server 2000 Bible" shows me the way to learn. It becomes a real bible for me. While I am reading this book I am able to understand what he is trying to say, but it's not happened in other books. I really appreciating his writing skills.
