2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. This is the best SQL Server administration book I’ve read... By Ian Stirk Hi,I have written a detailed chapter-by-chapter review of this book on www DOT i-programmer DOT info, the first and last parts of this review are given here. For my review of all chapters, search i-programmer DOT info for STIRK together with the book's title.This big book aims to explain SQL Server 2014’s administration capabilities. How does it fare?Each release of SQL Server provides ever greater functionality. This wide-ranging book aims to explain both the old and new features.The book is aimed at existing DBAs, and perhaps curious developers, that want to know the capabilities of SQL Server 2014.Since this is a large book (1004 pages, spread over 27 chapters, in five parts), I will discuss the content of each part, highlighting the main content, together with any salient observations.Part I: Installing and Configuring SQL ServerThis part opens with a chapter that looks at planning your SQL Server deployment. Factors discussed include SQL Server editions and licensing models, hardware (e.g. local, SAN), and operating system settings (e.g. power plan, Instant File Initialization). The default Windows power plan is inappropriate for SQL Server, and this is discussed. Azure options are briefly outlined (i.e. a restricted Azure SQL database or SQL Server on a virtual machine [VM]). The chapter ends with a very brief outline of the many components that can be installed.The next chapter outlines the various installation options. Each of the Installation Center’s 7 tabs are outlined (i.e. planning, installation, maintenance, tools, resources, advanced, options), this is followed by the step-by-step installation of a stand-alone database engine instance.The next chapter is concerned with installing SQL Server on a Windows Server Core, this doesn’t have a GUI, and so installation is via the command line. Various considerations are discussed (e.g. .NET version), before providing installation and testing steps. The process can be automated with a config file and this option is briefly discussed.The last chapter in this part is concerned with configuring the instance. The chapter opens with a review of the sp_configure utility and how it’s used to change configuration options. Next, processor and memory settings are examined, and guidelines for memory required for the OS are given. MAXDOP and parallelism is examined, the author correctly states that ideally you should test various MAXDOP values for your own workloads to determine the optimal setting. The various system databases (i.e. resource, MSDB, master, model, tempdb) are briefly described.This part provides a wide-ranging and detailed look at installing and configuring SQL Server. The section is generally easy to read, with good explanations and discussions, step-by-step walkthroughs, and plenty of relevant screenshots. The author provides lots of real-world experience, with sensible and practical advice. Useful SQL and PowerShell scripts are provided throughout. The chapter ends with a useful summary. These traits apply to the whole of the bookThe author suggests the “Cost Threshold for Parallelism” as an alternative to lowering MAXDOP, I would argue the setting is an adjunct rather than an alternative to MAXDOP. Sometimes, features are introduced without sufficient explanation (e.g. DMVs, page types), but I guess this depends on the book’s intended audience - which appears to be experienced DBAs....ConclusionThis is a big, wide-ranging book, containing plenty of real-life advice and experience with sensible and practical guidance. The book is generally easy to read, with useful explanations and discussions, step-by-step walkthroughs, and plenty of relevant screenshots. Useful code, tips, and solutions are provided throughout. Each chapter ends with a helpful summary. Having a single author certainly helps provide a consistent level of explanation, and removes unnecessary repetition.Although not stated, the book is aimed at existing DBAs, and perhaps curious developers, that want to know the capabilities of SQL Server 2014. Additionally, junior DBAs will learn a lot from this book.The book should certainly have “2014” added to its title, its absence only causes confusion. Some areas are perhaps a bit too prescriptive (e.g. memory to leave for the OS). That said, if you do follow the advice you won’t go far wrong. Some of the groupings of chapters in the parts seem odd (e.g. including Security with Scaling). Sometimes, terms are used before being explained (e.g. DMVs, SAN snapshot). It might have been useful to have a section on where to go to get further information (newsletters, blogs, websites etc). I did wonder, with the imminent release of SQL Server 2016, if this book’s release is badly timed.Any misgivings or criticisms I have of the book are certainly minor in terms of the book’s overall content. I’ve reviewed more than 30 SQL Server books over the last three years, and this is the best SQL Server administration book I’ve read. The author is to be congratulated on his diligence.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. pro sql server definetive book on sql, great book By philip browne Absolutely superb book on SQL server, starting from the very beginning hardware requirements with every step broken down making it easy to understand, while at the same time giving a more advanced approach all the way to full blown enterprise configuration . another nice part of the book is that it explains how and why you can get even more performance out of an instance/server and how and why certain configurations could cause problems, Then moving on to choosing the version of sql you will be using and why, also discussing the full feature set of each release.the book will guide you through every step of creating a sql server
