All Forums  General SQL Server Forums  New to SQL Server Programming  Any books on SQL Server 2008 Express (Admin)??

Author  Topic  Halle Starting Member 9 Posts Posted - 2011-10-23 : 00:29:46 Has anyone come across any books on SQL Express 2008 Administration? I have a book from college called "Murach's SQL Server 2008 for Developers". This book is for developers and is excellent. The book tells you right at the beginning that the SQL Express version can be used for all learning examples. One book I was partially interested in doesn't say whether you can learn it from SQL Express. This is the book, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Management and Administration. I don't want to buy this book online not knowing what version of SQL is required. Does anyone know of any good books on SQL Server 2008 Administration that the Express edition can be used to learn with? Thanks! I have been looking at the SQL developer edition and I see that it has limitations. For someone who just building database websites for small organizations (charities, small businesses) is Sql 2008 Express sufficient enough?
