SQL Server 6.5 Administration Study Guide [With Contains MCSE Test Simulation Software]

I am an MCSE with a bunch of MS Access experience but very little SQL Server experience. I found this book to be an excellent introduction to the subject. The text is written to specifically and directly address the points of the official MS exam guidelines, but that does not get in the way of it being a cohesive explanation of the use of the product. The text includes a great number of screen shots and many excercises to guide one through most of the significant functions of the software. There also seemed to be fairly few typos. The end of chapter questions, and the troubleshooting chapter, however, could have been a bit more substantial. With this text, the on-line docs, and a bit of time playing with the demo copy of the software available from the MS website, the exam was not all that tough.
