Summary: Not quite worthless, but close
Comment: Most of the Microsoft certification books are bad, and this is no exception. A lot of page space is used explaining how wonderful Microsoft products are and no space is used defining the obscure terms that are constantly bandied about. Often a common word is used to mean something totally different than what it means to the rest of the world. Other times terms are just made up and never defined. The exercises are tedious, though occasionally userful.
Buy a different book.

Summary: Great book for the 70-229 Exam
Comment: This is a very well written, comprehensive book that explains many of the things you need to know for the exam. The book is nicely formatted and has very good code snippets to demonstate the use of TSQL statements, stored procedures, etc. It could use more information in the areas concerning database replication, user functions and their purpose, and sql table locking hints and their use.
I usually use the Exam Cram 2 books for studying, but the one for the 70-229 is not highly rated. It is a good thing that Microsoft Press came through with this book.

Summary: 70-229 SQL 2k Design and Implementation
Comment: I was not pleased with the contents of this book in terms of sloppy editing and in the paltry treatment of important topics. Those of us in pursuit of the MCP or MCDBA will have to augment this book and what we take from this book with other more complex books dealing with design and implementation. Do be prepared to purchase additional books on T-SQL programming and do be prepared to purchase real exam prep software.
