Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Performance Tuning Technical Reference provides all the information that developers and database administrators need to configure Microsoft SQL Server 2000 for optimum performance and scalability. Unlike other SQL Server 2000 tuning books on the market, it teaches not just about the SQL Server relational database management system, but also about how to get the most out of the underlying operating system and hardware. The advanced information it presents is easy to grasp because the authors start with the basics and build upon information in previous chapters to teach the mechanics of performance tuning and how they affect the whole system. This title has been thoroughly revised since the last edition and includes new information throughout.
