Download: Introducing Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Free eBook by Microsoft

Microsoft is offering a free eBook to Database Administrators (DBA), Application Developers, Power Users, or Technical Decision Makers entitled “Introducing Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2” authored by Ross Mistry and Stacia Misner.

Introducing Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2

The book has two sections, containing total 10 chapters (5 chapters each section) and 216 pages, like so:

PART I   Database Administration

CHAPTER 1   SQL Server 2008 R2 Editions and Enhancements
CHAPTER 2   Multi-Server Administration
CHAPTER 3   Data-Tier Applications
CHAPTER 4   High Availability and Virtualization Enhancements
CHAPTER 5   Consolidation and Monitoring

PART II   Business Intelligence Development

CHAPTER 6   Scalable Data Warehousing
CHAPTER 7   Master Data Services
CHAPTER 8   Complex Event Processing with StreamInsight
CHAPTER 9   Reporting Services Enhancements
CHAPTER 10   Self-Service Analysis with PowerPivot

The book covers both the new and the improved features in the latest version of SQL Server. Because this version is Release 2 (R2) of SQL Server 2008, relatively minor changes have been made, but definitely more than a service pack. It is also featuring a lot of exciting enhancements and new capabilities engineered into SQL Server 2008 R2.

The book ‘Introducing Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2’ can be downloaded either in .XPS or in .PDF format directly from Microsoft Download Center.
