Create, query, and manage high-performance SQL Server 7 databases with the hot new release of this scalable database management system. SQL Server 7: A Beginner's Guide explains enterprise database... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Since I had only background with MS Access(and no background with SQL Server at all),I had a choice between the book-Sams Teach Yourself in 21 Days- and this one.I took this one and I am very pleased with my choice. With this book, it was easy for me to understand Transact-SQL language and administration of SQL Server.(The last part of the book:Data Warehousing is rather superficial, but this topic is not important for me.)The book is great as a first-time user handbook as well as a syntax reference later on. I am now reading a book from Kalen Delaney-Inside SQL Server 7- and this book was the best starting point for it.
Simply the best entry level SQL Server book

I am an experienced Access user with some knowledge of SQL. I have found in this book exactly what I need to learn SQL Server from the beginning on. The part of the book concerning Transact-SQL is especially well written for someone like me. I recommend this book to all MS Access users who are upgrading to SQL Server 7.
This is an excellent introduction to SQL Server 7.

As a person with no previous experience in using the SQL language I found this book very well written and accessible. The book is organized in a systemic way, and it describes many of the basic SQL Server 7 components. The book is evenly paced, with very smooth transitions from one chapter to the next. The section on Transact-SQL is especially well-written. The book is essential to anyone interested in the SQL server.
Excellent Reference - A DEFINITE KEEPER!

Very easy reading and gets right to the point. Microsoft claims to have re-written the source code for SQL 7 as well as a great deal of the interface features, this book cuts to the chase. Our firm has been working with MS SQL Server since 4.2 and we consider this book to be a MUST READ for all of our serious clients. We have a roll-out of a new version of software later this year, for which the database is SQL Server 7.0 and definitly plan to include this book as part of the upgrade package.
