Review

Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 System Administration Training Kit offers a structured, self-paced learning program primarily designed to prepare you for Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) exam 70-028. It also functions well as a solid tutorial for present and prospective database administrators.

Painting with a broad brush, the book covers all of the practical skills necessary for successful administration. It opens with a general overview of the product and a high-level chapter on installation. A section on upgrading follows as well as an introduction to the administration utilities.

While the coverage of database files and data transfers appears to be a bit short-winded, the essentials for administrator survival remain intact. Web site builders will find short discussions on full-text indexing and the production of Web pages from the database. Another three brief chapters focus on backup and restoration issues. Performance monitoring, replication, and maintenance plans are addressed in a similarly brisk manner.

Each chapter comprises structured lessons designed to cover applicable topics with review sections and study questions to keep you on track. A companion CD-ROM includes hands-on lessons and multimedia presentations to help illustrate key concepts. This structured tutorial offers a relatively quick way to prepare for the 70-028 exam and should get you up to speed on basic administration tasks. --Stephen Plain

Store Description

Equipment for Living is a socially conscious bookstore located in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania. More than just a retail business, we define ourselves as "a business with a conscience" - committed to fostering community development, meaningful employment, and urban revitalization in Western Pennsylvania. OUR MISSION: Equipment for Living operates on the belief that responsible entrepreneurship can be a powerful force for positive change. We provide valuable retail services while creating meaningful work opportunities that serve as sites of training and mentoring. Our Youth Employment Initiative specifically targets local residents aged 16-25, offering employment, skill development, and guidance during the critical transition from youth to adulthood. We measure success not just in profits, but in empowering our employees to pursue their career aspirations and life goals - even when that means moving on to other opportunities. OUR STORY: Founded in 2008 and opening our physical storefront in 2012 after extensive community-led renovations, Equipment for Living has grown from an online book venture into a cornerstone of Aliquippa's revitalization efforts. We've deliberately chosen to establish our business in this former steel town, recognizing that true community poverty isn't just about lacking economic resources - it's about lacking opportunities, connections, education, and hope. OUR INVENTORY: Equipment for Living offers a refreshingly different retail experience from typical chain bookstores. While big-box stores stock only high-demand, profitable bestsellers in predictable arrangements, we curate a wide and constantly evolving selection that reflects the unique character of our community. Our diverse inventory includes books across all genres and eras, audiobooks, CDs, DVDs, VHS tapes, vinyl records, and video games. We embrace the philosophy that "if you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking." While we may not always have the latest bestseller in stock, we guarantee a carefully selected range of high-quality products you won't easily find elsewhere - true equipment for living a rich, thoughtful life.
