I got this one to help me with setting up a HA replication arch. To be nice about it the repl info in the book is anemic. Next to nothing about it. I’m not sure how I will use the book and Im pretty disappointed iwth it.
Rating: 2 / 5
Has to be the worst Sql book I’ve wasted my money on. Absolutely horrible. Practically every chapter has some over generalization or plain bad advice. You get the impression that the authors haven’t really ever deployed any of these systems they talk about so much. It appears they have very little time “in the trenches.” On top of that, the writing is just awful. I had a real tough time just reading through it. If you want to find good info on Sql’s high availability features, read the Books Online and *don’t* waste your money on this book.
Rating: 1 / 5
More a collection of misc thoughts than really good info on high availability.

This book collates the experience of installing ‘Real World’ SQL virtual servers on Windows 2000 and Windows 2003.
Even if you have already deployed a SQL2000 clustered instance, there will be tips in this book for you.
There are numerous chapters including Disk configuration, Installation and Service Pack management.
As with any major undertaking, the book underpins the need for planning and research without forgetting the detailed technical stuff we all love.
The Knowledgebase articles referenced in the book make it that little bit easier to be confident that you are following Best Practise.

I just got this one and I found that while it has some good points its not really all I had hoped. A much better book is Inside SQL 2000. It covers much more about SQL which you need to know for keeping a system up and running 24-by-7.
