Book suggestions for studying for MCDBA

Hi All,

I'm about to begin studying for the MCDBA certification and I'm
wondering what books people would recommend?

The following gets a good review, so I'm planning on purchasing it:

MCSA/MCSE/MCDBA Self-Paced Training Kit: Microsoft SQL Server 2000
System Administration, 70-228, Second Edition

However, I'd like to also go through a second book as well, just to
make sure my coverage is as complete as possible, and I'm wondering if
anyone has any suggestions?

Many thanks in advance,

Murray

Hi

There are two things that you need to look at when doing these exams,
knowledge and exam technique. In general books that are for specifically for
an examination tend to be more focussed on exam technique and I would
personally would not get a second book for that! There are also websites
that can take you through sample exams as well as those found in the book.

For general knowledge, apart from hands on day to day use, you should study
books online and all the places etc listed at

Hi all, I know a little python (not the OOP part) learnt by studying the online tutorial. Now I would like to learn it more thoroughly. I have access to 'Programming Python' which I liked (on flipping through the pages), but the problem is it deals only with version 2.0 of Phython.

I received a Spam the other day offering the opportunity to get valid certs for MS, Cisco, Oracle, Sun, and Comptia. Basically, you paid for the exam and then $150 to $500 for the guarantee you would pass. They would have someone take the exam for you at their own testing center. (in India) I view this whole thing as unethical. I don't want to debate the value of certifications. Does anyone know anyone in those organizations that I...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
