OK. We’ve decided to change the title of my upcoming SQL Server 2008 book. Instead of DBA’s Guide to SQL Server 2008, we’re calling it Real World SQL Server 2008 Database Administration: Skills and Knowledge for MCITP Certification and Beyond.
The reason for the title change is simple. We are covering the objectives for 70-432 and 70-450 in the book and we want this to be clear; however, we also realize people want more than a certification prep book. In fact, this book includes several entire chapters that have nothing to do with the certification, but everything to do with effective SQL Server 2008 administration. Hopefully, the new title will help to clearly communicate the purpose of the book.
