Help for new quasi-DBA (Yukon)
-
Would appreciate any links to beginner books, tutorials, etc. for my new role as a quasi-DBA for MS SQL Server 2005. I have some small relational db experience but am new to both DBA and SQL Server 2005. TIA for any help.

Microsoft has a ton of free content like virtual labs and webcasts:

You might also check to see if there is a SQL Server user group or PASS chapter in your area.
There are quite a few books out, but I haven't really read any of the general books. Of course if you are interested in SQL Server Integration Services, I can recommend "Professional SQL Server 2005 Integration Services" from Wrox.

Almost forgot, Dale wrote a book about SQL Server Management Studio, http://www.sqlservercentral.com/store/#ssms . It's only $8 and will get you up to speed with SSMS quickly.
