Professional Microsoft SQL server 2008 Administration

This zip file contains code downloads for the examples in the book. Code files are included for Chapters 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18. The remaining chapters do not have associated code files.

To follow the examples in this book, you will need to have SQL Server 2008 installed. If you wish to learn how to administer the business intelligence features, you will need to have Analysis Services and the Integration Services component installed. You’ll need a machine that can support the minimum hardware requirements to run SQL Server 2008. 

You’ll also want to have the databases from the SQL2008.AdventureWorks_OLTP_DB_v2008.zip and SQL2008.AdventureWorks_DW_BI_v2008.zip files installed. These databases are not installed with SQL Server 2008 by default and may be downloaded from http://www.wrox.com/go/SQLServer2008RTMDataSets.
