A SQL Server 2008 transition guide built around Oracle DBA experience

Designed for database administrators coming from Oracle, this guide uses cross-platform comparisons and workplace examples to map familiar DBA knowledge onto Microsoft SQL Server 2008. It begins with platform components, architecture, installation, configuration, and database objects, then moves into security administration and performance troubleshooting. Later sections address operational responsibilities including availability planning, backups, disaster recovery, scheduling, alerts, data import/export, upgrades, and Oracle-to-SQL Server migration. The book’s organizing idea is practical translation between two relational database environments, with attention to questions likely to arise during that transition.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Oracle DBAs learning Microsoft SQL Server 2008
  • Database administrators responsible for SQL Server security, performance, and recovery tasks
  • Professionals planning data migration between Oracle and SQL Server
