SQL Server System Administration (The Landmark Series) - Softcover

SQL Server System Administration assumes that you are familiar with the fundamentals of database administration and have worked with SQL Server in some capacity. This book focuses on the topic of interest to most administrators: keeping data consistently available to users. Unlike other SQL Server books that are wide in scope, discuss SQL Server basics, and have little relevance to the serious SQL Server DBA, SQL Server System Administration provides a hands-on approach that administrators won't find elsewhere. For example, instead of dedicating pages to explaining queries and how they work, this book talks about choosing the correct replication topology and achieving high availability of information.
