Highly recommended
Highly recommended. The book goes easy on you,and it does not assume any previous knowledge on your part.It will not make you an accomplished DBA over a weekend, but I recommend it as a olid introduction.Material is well organized and presented, with a fair portion of typos and slips :)I did not encounter any installation problems reported from Colorado: no key was ever required (maybe they print special edition for Boulder, CO?). Nevertheless, I do recommend downloading trial version from Microsoft, as it contains the latest fixes (the book was published in 2001, after all).

Lots of errors/mistakes
I would not recommend this book. It barely skims the surface of what you really need to know to become proficient with SQL Server 2000. The book also contains numerous, and I mean numerous, typos, mistakes and incorrect code that will not work.

DO NOT BUY!!!
This book was no help to me whatsoever. I spent 6 hours with this book and could not even get MS SQL Server 2000 installed. But, with "Sam's Teach Yourself Microsoft SQL Server 2000 in 21 days", I was up, running and upsizing databases from Access in less than 1 1/2 hours. In addition, the cd that came with the book that had a 120 day free trial version required a 25 character id/password, which was not supplied by the book. Which not only made the cd useless, but forced me to track down a program to clear my registry(try RegClean) so that I could actually install the 120 day free trial version that I downloaded from www.microsoft.com
