Explore enterprise database management with SQL Server 2005

This sample chapter from SQL Server 2005 fills a coverage gap in published guides since the SQL Server 2005 release, covering what's new in enterprise database administration with an emphasis on features for database administrators rather than developers.

Rather than study SQL Server 2005 from a feature list, this sample chapter from SQL Server 2005 groups the features according to some tasks common to database administration. Coverage includes:

Infrastructure management. How do installation and configuration work?

SQL Server monitoring - Divided into reactive and proactive to see how it gets done.

The chapter also looks at Very Large Database (VLDB) management, especially in the area of backup and recovery, as well as replication, high availability, general data availability, and business intelligence for the database admin.
