1) Paperback Book McSe Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Database Design and Implementation: Readiness Review Exam 70-229 (Pro-Certification) by Microsoft Press. This book has two main flaws that caused me to abandon it after the first few chapters.

First, it spends an inordinate amount of time on theory, compared to giving practical examples.

Second (and a truly fatal flaw) is that during the course of the book, the reader is directed to build a database that is essential to reading the following chapters. The reader is encouraged to think theoretically about the general structure of the database, but is given no specifics. Yet specifics are exactly what the later chapters require! If the reader follows the directions, it will become necessary to make numerous structure changes later.

Worse yet, the "correct" database is not included on the CD, nor is it available online. That makes it impossible for the more advanced user to skip chapters that he doesn´t need.

This book has become one of my more expensive doorstops.

2) Paperback Book McSe Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Database Design and Implementation: Readiness Review Exam 70-229 (Pro-Certification) by Microsoft Press. I bought this book the day before I took the exam because I was struggling with the measure up tests. I read through the book in one day and passed the exam the next day.

I was disappointed that the exam questions on the CD were the same as in the book. I was hoping there would be a different set of questions.

I recommend this book if you´re just looking to pass the exam and also have access to the course material. It will help reinforce what I learned in the course material in an exam-type way.¤

3) Paperback Book McSe Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Database Design and Implementation: Readiness Review Exam 70-229 (Pro-Certification) by Microsoft Press. This book is just a test book.
If you are able to pass all the tests in the CD, then you will not have problems with the real test. However, as always, some ot the questions are wrong.
The software for the test is not so good, if you just take the test for the third time, half of the questions will be known to you.
Since the main reason you buy this book, is to check your preparation pro-certification, i think i can give it 3 on 5 stars.
If you are italian, you should not take the italian version of the book, it is just written in something different from a language for IT professionals.¤

4) Paperback Book McSe Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Database Design and Implementation: Readiness Review Exam 70-229 (Pro-Certification) by Microsoft Press. I had thought that this book and the sample Exam on the CD would be a realy close reflection of the exam content. But whan I took the exam, it didn´t seem like that was the case. The book and sample exam seemed to focus on Admin. stuff while the exam seemed to emphasize SQL, TSQL and database design a lot more. I also don´t think the book prepares you for security-related questions very well. But it might still be worthwhile for someone who feels ready to take the exam and just wants some practice.¤

5) Paperback Book McSe Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Database Design and Implementation: Readiness Review Exam 70-229 (Pro-Certification) by Microsoft Press. Having passed the SQL Server 6.5 exam, I didn´t even find this much help as a review or prep for SQL 2000... Had to get a better book immediately!¤
