Synopsis
KEY POINTS
• Accurate, practical techniques for SQL Server 2008 administration
• Easy-to-use task-based reference format
• Over 100 specific tips, procedures, and best practices
SQL Server 2008 Administration
isn’t a standard SQL Server tutorial—there
are dozens of those to choose from. Instead, this book breaks down the role of
“SQL Server Administrator” into its key focus areas and tasks and details the
techniques and best practices that make an administrator effective.
In this book, a reader can quickly identify a task and find the best practice
associated with it. For example, a reader looking for information about indexing
would find step-by-step procedures for identifying and dropping unused
indexes, creating missing indexes, selecting the appropriate clustered index,
and so forth.
Each technique is presented in a clear, straightforward style and in the order of
the typical lifecycle of a SQL Server system. This allows a reader to easily open
the book at the appropriate page and focus on what you need to know for each
specific situation.
While most techniques will work for all versions of SQL Server, this book is current
for the recent final release of SQL Server 2008.
