For the first time, SQL Server 2005 provides features that can
support large-scale enterprise databases. With this powerful new
release, you may find yourself being called upon to perform duties
that are no longer strictly "administrative," duties that have
become much more complicated and difficult. With that in mind, a
team of experienced Microsoft Certified Professionals provides you
with the necessary information to be a more competent and
successful database developer or administrator.
Beginning with a foundation that features detailed coverage of
typical administrative duties, the authors proceed to explain how
to build complex data transformations for data import, build
distributed data solutions, and maintain the security and integrity
of the database. You will be able to apply what you learn to
real-world scenarios, and smoothly navigate the vastly changed
landscape of SQL Server 2005 administration.
