No :-)) Just wanna learn something new.

looks like it :D

We're using both Oracle and SQL Server in our company julian...

I recommend these SQL Server Books:

1) SQL Server 2000 unleashed 2nd edition by Ray Rankin
2) Admin 911 SQL Server 2000 by Brian Knight
3) SQL Server Backup and Recovery Tools and Techniques by Frank McBath
4) Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Performance Optimization and Tuning Handbook by Ken England
5) Professional SQL Server 2000 DTS by Mark Chaffin

That will get you started.

You could check out Chris Kempster's e-book -

'SQL Server 2000 for the Oracle DBA'

You can pay and download at his website.

Cheers,

Hi Julian

I am on the same way to..i suggest you buy these three books not exactly DBA books but stil are very very important

1)Professional SQL Server 2000 Programming
by Rob Vieira

dont let the word professional scare you beacuse he starts from the basics

2)Admin 911 SQL Server 2000 by Brian Knight

not a intro book.but you still a must read



3) Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Performance Optimization and Tuning Handbook by Ken England
