Rating:  - Best reference guide for designing your SQL Server database
This guide not only provides references on SQL Server syntax, but also contains a brief review of best practices with database design. Includes all normal forms with database normalization, indexing, and data integrity.
Rating: - Best IT Book I Ever Read
This book is an amazingly clear and concise book, especially for the "non-gurus" among us. The explanations of general topics like normalization, the history of markup languages (in the XML section) are so well written you could give them to management and even they would understand what you are doing (maybe that's not such a good idea). Full of tidbits like why transaction logs grow so much faster than data files. Nielson writes about SQL Server 2000 as used in the real world, not just as an interesting piece of technology. Bravo! I would give it 10 stars if I could. I leave nitpicking to the gurus.
Rating: - Great for reading and as a reference guide
Very complete and illustrating. I am happy to have it on my desktop.
Rating:  - Very Good Book
This book is very good one, I learned a lot, ESPECIALLY about T-SQL, its sectioned in a good manner and the writer language is easy, the only negative point about the book is the briefness of explaination about (INDEXES) which i consider a very very important topic in the SQL in general.
Thanks a lot Mr. Neilsen
Rating: - Very Good Book for SQL Server DBA
Currently I am preparing for the exam 70-229 and I studied a lot of SQL Server 2000 Books. But "SQL Server 2000 Bible" shows me the way to learn. It becomes a real bible for me. While I am reading this book I am able to understand what he is trying to say, but it's not happened in other books. I really appreciating his writing skills.
