Teach me MS SQL 2000 (1 Viewer)

[AllanN]

I have been tasked at work to administrate two SQL servers. I work in the Network Support field but this is my first real experiences with SQL. Can someone recommend a good book to learn from? My previous experience has been with SMS, Exchange and general NT/2000 administration.

I don't know of any good books off-hand but my suggestion is browse amazon.com for sqlserver 2000 books. Lucky for you that Sqlserver is fairly ease to administer on a day-to-day basis.
It may not be the best or most powerful database out there, especially when compared with Oracle but it does the job. You may want to get a few books on learning SQL just so you'll know how to make scripts and run basic queries when the need arises.

I have the Admin's Companion books for several MS server products, and they're excellent.
