Hi I have recently started my study for SQL server 2005 Implementation and maintenance.

I have Comptia A+, 70-721 and 70-727 under my belt and I have now moved onto SQL Server.

After reading some of the Microsoft book it is apparent that this is a big step up I have no previous experience, and at the start of the book it says: We assume you have working knowledge of relational databases and their design, Transact SQL and SQl server 2005 client tools.

Little bit scary considering I dont.

So my question is does any one know of any good books that i can read that will hopefully get me to the position needed to start the Microsoft book.

Regards, Chris

As you have no experience why don't you start with entry level SQL/DB certs like the MySQL CMA cert? It is aimed at entry level DBA's.

Also - there is a personal edition of SQL server 2005 available for free from Microsoft. If you install that at least you will begin to get some hands-on experience.
