SQL-DMO is a feature rich library that can be manipulated to do things that simply are not possible using the standard toolset of Microsoft SQL Server, and Mitchell and Allison show developers how to do it in a way that is not masked by "techno-babble". Instead, they write in a manner that is easy to understand and clearly explains the points necessary to advance in programming SQL Server.
This book helped me to write SQL-DMO programs for configuring merge replication and performing database backups. It has very good examples of how to use SQL-DMO in Visual Basic and Transact SQL. The examples helped me to write my own SQL-DMO programs in C#, VBScript and InstallShield Developer InstallScript.
this is a great book

I bought this book to help me with a task I had. not only is it a fun read, but it is packed with helpful scripts and information. I am a vb programmer who have been working as a dba for 2 years now. This book more than any other book has helped me cross the threshold from being a programmer to being a dba.Not only does it help you write code, but it helps you to understand SQL Server in general. It also has helped me with my day to day SQL Server administrative tasks.One other thing I must mention - I have tried many of the code samples and they work!!! Having code samples work in books you buy is such a rarity today.
This is a good book

I had to do some SQL DMO scripting and could not figure out how to do it using MDSN, so I purchased Wrox's book and found it to be merely a re-write of online docs. Then I discovered this book and was so overjoyed to find some authors who had actually taken the time to write useful code samples and to go well beyond where MSDN leaves off.Their code is very well laid out and designed. They have taken the time and care to turn out a quality product.
