Reviews for Beginning SQL Server 2008 Administration

.,. As a urologic oncologist, I test-drove this book for over a month, and I was thoroughly impressed with how practical, comprehensive, and timely it is. I was equally impressed with how appropriate the material is for clinicians at all stages of their careers, regardless of their subspecialties. This book may be a useful reference for anyone who frequently deals with patients with urologic cancer. (W.C. Huang, New England Journal of Medicine, June 2008)
