Probably doesn't want his/her (new) boss to find out they're looking for books on how to be a DBA. Original title was "SQL DBA Books", first post was:quote:
Hi all,Can anyone suggest a good book with regard to SQL Server 2008 Administration for a junior DBA? Thanks!
Second post was:quote:
Not what I'm looking for. Thanks for ur reply btw!Thinking of buying SQL Server 2008 Administrator's Pocket Consultant by William R. Stanek. Do u know this one? If so, how is it?Thank you!

| Thanks. I was curious as to the context.mrejto: There are lots of good dba books, however I would not suggest the pocket consultant for a junior DBA. It's great for someone who understands DBA work and just needs a reference book, it's not great if you're looking for the why and the when for the tasks.--Gail ShawSQL Server MVP |
