Microsoft(R) SQL Server 2005 Unleashed February 19, 2008
Very valuable when it comes to referencing all the functionality SQL Server 2005 has to offer.
Microsoft(R) SQL Server 2005 Unleashed
The most comprehensive SQL 2005 book in the market January 25, 2008
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
This book covers most aspects of SQL 2005. Some topics are only covered at a perfunctory level (Business Intelligence, SSIS, T-SQL etc). But many of the topics, especially archtectural ones, are covered with high level of expertise.
If you need to buy one book that covers most aspects of SQL 2005 then this should be the one. It is better and more comprehensive than "SQL 2000 Unleashed", which was also an excellent book.
Here are the topics the book covers especially well:
1)SQL 2005 Install and upgrade
2)Replication
3)Data Mirroring and other high availability solutions.
4)Index and Statistics.
5)Locking and Deadlocks.
There are better books out there for each of individual the topics of SQL 2005. But there are no book I know of which covers them as comprehensively at a high level as this book.

I did not realize this book is HUGE after I got one. This book demonstrates every functionalities that MS SQL Server 2005 has and illustrates every functionality in details. Therefore, this book is worth to buy. Besides, the delivery was faster than I expected. GOOD SERVICE!

After reading Microsoft's books about their own products, this book is a knight in shining armor. It dives into the nitty-gritty details and actual gives useful information, instead of regurgitating sparse on-line documentation.
 Excellent purchase! September 8, 2007

This book is all what you need to get started with MSSQL 2005. A thorough explanation and still very usefull as a reference. Read it from start-to-finish (note 2000 pages) or read a chapter as you need it.
