SQL Server training

You are in the same boat I was in about 3 months ago. My employers came to me about SQl. The best thing I can recommend for you is to actually sit in on a Microsoft Course. There are SQL administration courses Microsoft offers so check the nearest Private or Corporate College that offers Microsoft Official Courses. I also picked up some books on the matter. The Exam Cram books are usually very good desktop reference material when you are stuck. www.examcram.com. There is also some websites you can check out such as www.cramsession.com,www.leapit.com and you may be able to even get a computer based training course at www.smartforce.com. Good Luck.

We use New Horizons. They have a 5 day hands-on course, 2 locations in Chicagoland and others around the country. Their phone number in Chicago is 847-544-6000 x432. If they are not in your area, try Productivity Point International. Their 5 day classes are also good. Hope this helps.

I am starting my SQL training now and I have just purchased the Microsoft Press Training Kits on System Administration and Database Implimentation. They each come with a 120 day eval copy of SQL Server and the books are pretty easy to read for Microsoft Press. They start you from scratch and have estimated time for completion of each lession. I got mine at bookpool.com for 40% off (they are brand new). I also suggest classes with an MCT, that's my next move. GOOD LUCK!
