1: Excelente Referencia
El libro cumple con su cometido. Resulta ser una excelente introducci??n para las m??ltiples caracteristicas de SQL Server 2005 sin ser una enciclopedia que profundice en dichos temas. Muy recomendable, sin embargo habr?? que considerar dos elementos:
1. SQL Server 2008 se liber?? este a??o y
2. La informaci??n en Internet resulta ser m??s actualizada en algunos rubros.

2: The best book for beginners
This is the best and most comperehensive book for beginners and advanced programmers alike.
I changed to this book half way into Sql Server 2005 for dummies and find language and examples used really easy to understand as if we are learning this in a class room.
So if you want to graduate from a simpleton to a SQL Server 2005 expert this is the best book recommended.A+ marks.

3: Great book, disappointed in shipping
Great book!
However, it arrived very slightly damaged (one corner bent). Not enough damage to bother with a return; but disappointing on a brand new, expensive book.
Amazon does not seem to be paying as much attention to packing/shipping as they once did.

4: good but needs editting
There are a lot of typos and grammar errors in the book. Like "or" instead of "for", for example.

5: dotNet Developer
As a dotNet Developer, I am often called upon to write my own database code or maintain existing db code. I am also called upon to diagnose performance problems or set security. Sometimes on lightly staffed projects, I am a defacto DBA.
I have always strived to have a comprehensive understanding of the technologies I use. However, my level of understanding of SQL Server was more limited then my understanding of the other technologies I use.
I purchased this book based on existing Amazon recommendations. In particular, I was interested in the Performance and Security sections, as well as what is new. It did not disappoint. The depth on items like Indexes was exactly what I was looking for. The discussion of new items was enough to get we to a working level.
So it definitely fulfilled my needs and expectations.
However, the book seems aimed at DBAs. Given the number of topics covered in the book, I suspect it could not be comprehensive enough to take an intermediate DBA to the Advanced stage.
But for someone like me, who is often called upon to be an 'acting' DBA it serves as an excellent reference; in addition to providing a tutorial on the topics mentioned above.
