Books.

  • I stumbled onto the following books:

    Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Internals (Kalen Delaney)

    SQL-SERVER MVP Deep Dives

    SQL-SERVER MVP Deep Dives Volume 2

    These look good value to me and a good set.

    (I have read the internals for 7 and 2000 of Kalen Delaney and think they were exelent).

    These three books represent about the amount of reading I can process and maybe the amount of money I can get my bos to spend.

    Are there suggestions to improve this set? (Newer versions? Other books?).

    If I have to choose two books to start with which two?

    If I have to choose one :angry: book to start with which one?

    (There are so many books, it is difficult to judge them all on content and quality).

    Thanks all for your insights.

    I got those 2 books for Christmas and then bought The 2008 Internals in May for my birthday. The MVP books are fantastic, and the money goes to a good cause. Outside of those books, there are some on RedGate's site that are downloadable for free that are great. http://www.red-gate.com/community/books/index I personally use Troubleshooting SQL Server: A Guide for the Accidental DBA by Jonathan Kehayias and Ted Krueger a bunch. Have also started reading SQL Server DMV Starter Pack to prepare for my new job.
