Amazon.com Review:
Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 System Administration Online Training Kit is a great resource to use in preparing for the Administering Microsoft SQL Server 7 exam (70-028) as you work toward a Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) certification. Because it's primarily a CD-ROM presentation, this product is particularly great for candidates who want to study while traveling, commuting, or in any situation that doesn't lend itself to carrying a big book.
The CD-ROM doesn't put much stock in multimedia gewgaws, employing instead a logical structure that helps you identify and correct deficiencies in your SQL Server knowledge. For each section of the presentation--"Creating a Database" is one example--there's a brief introduction to the topic and an assessment quiz. Based on your performance on the pre-test, the software highlights specific modules you should focus on (say, "Using Transact-SQL to Create a Database" or "Setting Database Options"). The training modules themselves are concise, relying on static conceptual drawings to help drive facts home.
Because you log in to the software, you can keep track of your progress over time. One small beef: in some situations, you have to mouse-click the Forward button after each page of the presentation. Other segments allow you to hit Enter or the space bar instead. This inconsistency could easily be fixed. Though the training CD-ROM itself doesn't include a full exam simulation, the CD-ROM that's bound with MCSE Readiness Review: Administering Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 (also included in this package) has a test simulator on it. --David Wall
Topics covered: The material that appears on the Administering Microsoft SQL Server 7 exam (70-028), including planning, installation, security, backups and restores, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
