    Excellent book!

    Of all the texts for the DBA, MS SQL Server 2005 Unleashed is the one I know, I¿ve got a shelf-full. Assuming a cursory overview, I was put off at first by the encyclopedic breadth of this monumental book, but I have found its coverage exquisitely thorough, often including details I¿ve not seen elsewhere. (One example: SQL 05 waits until a newly allocated database page is referenced to zero it out. Wow!) This is an evolutionary effort which, like the software, has been enhanced and perfected over the years. The presentation is coherent, and unlike many collaborative works, consistent I find myself reading (and learning) about areas where I feel completely comfortable. The book is well organized and the chapters are essentially independent, which allows you to focus on the task at hand. And the authors¿ style is conversational but to the point it is neither insulting nor unnecessarily obscure. Highly recommended!
