About this title

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.
