    Hi All,

    I am planning to purchase a book on 'Performance Tuning'. We have only SQL Server 2005 here. Since I want to upgrade myself, thinking of buying a book on SQL 2008. But priority is to mainitain all these SQL 2005 database here.

    So will it be usefull for SQL 2005 If I purchase a book on performance tuning for SQL 2008 ? Or is it going to be totally different for SQL 2005 ? Please guide.

    Also can you please suggest some useful titles pls...

    Thanks in advance ?

    There may be a few minor performance-tuning differences between 2005 and 2008, but the vast majority of the data will be applicable to both. The differences between the two are minor in that regard.

    I'd start with any of the books on this site: http://www.red-gate.com/our-company/about/book-store/

    Everyone else reads GSquared reply first, notices that it satisfies the question more then enough and leaves the thread be.

    There is no use in repeating the same answer over and over 🙂

    Edit: double post

    (quite ironic when the original post is about not posting the same thing twice :hehe:)

    Thanks.

    Part of relational theory for databases is that you shouldn't have repeating rows of data, so, as database addicts, we tend to try to avoid "me too" type posts on this site. 🙂
