Reader Reviews:
This is quite poor (1/1 people found this helpful)
I don't really have motivation to write reviews normally but the poor quality of this book seems to have done the trick this time.
It seems as if the authors were given a couple of weeks to write material for this last book in the MCITP DBA exam series. They have cobbled together content (a lot copied and pasted from books online) and arranged it so that it is repetive (yet sometimes subtley inconsistent), not following any logical flow (especially the first 3 chapters) and hard to read. The worst thing is that there are obvious errors. The second book in the series was well written and very tight. This one however seems to demonstrate either a lack of author knowledge or some phenomenally poor editing. In the early chapters, there's even some content ripped off books online about notification services (not on the syllabus but seemingly included because of a ignorant books online search for how to manage database sizes)
So this book is a let down.
