Ingrown Whiskers Puppies

Available September 12: MCITP Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70 -441): Designing Database Solutions by Using Microsoft SQL Server (TM) 2005

I have received a notice from Amazon today that the latest book in which I participated as an author will be available for sale starting in September 12. Already

can apply for pre-sale.

The book is " MCITP Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-441): Designing Database Solutions by Using Microsoft SQL Server (TM) 2005 ."

I have written 3 chapters to this book:
- Chapter 6 Designing Objects That Retrieve Data
- Chapter 10 Designing a Test Plan for a Database
- Chapter 11 Creating a Performance Baseline

In the development of Chapter 10 have received invaluable help of my friend Marino Posadas .

As co-authors in this book have been involved: Dejan Sarka (Slovakia), Andy Leonard (USA) and Javier Loria (Costa Rica). In addition we have received help from Francisco Gonzales and Jesus Lopez (both from Spain).

The book, as its title implies, is a design book Database in SQL Server 2005. There are some chapters that deal with issues over implementation, but in general, is a book of guidelines and practices for proper design of elements in the database.

Note that the chapters that I have had to write my They have more to do with testing techniques. This is a detail that I found interesting, on the basis of webcasts di on Visual Studio Team System for Database Professionals , the fact that the world database is already organizing practices around the world learned of component development (versioning, unit testing, performance testing focused on BD, refactoring, etc).

Finally, the book has been hard work but we are happy with the end result! - Highly recommended!
