Buy a copy of the Developer's Edition (actually, it's the Enterprise Edition with special licensing) of SQL Server on Amazon. Costs <$50 USD.There are several decent books on SQL Server Administration from a learning aspect. Unfortunately, most of the great books I learned from are out of print and a lot about SQL Server has changed over the years. I mostly rely on the built in help system that comes with SQL Server (Books Online) but it's not a great self-learning tool. Since I haven't actually bought a book on the subject in over 3 years, I'll let someone else recommend a good starting book for DBAs. BUT, DO buy the Developer's Edition right away!--Jeff Moden
RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for "Row By Agonizing Row".First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:"Stop thinking about what you want to do to a row... think, instead, of what you want to do to a column." When writing schedules, keep the following in mind:"If you want it real bad, that's the way you'll likely get it." |
