Introducing Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Technical Overview should really be ...

Introducing Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Technical Overview should really be called Microsoft's approach to data manipulation in 2014. I say that because the book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with SQL Server database administration and consists of three chapters. The second part deals with business intelligence development and also consist of three chapters The book says that it's primary audience is database administrators, however it also is geared to those people in upper management tasked with making decisions as to how their company should move forward in 2014 regarding SQL Server and business intelligence. The book presents a high-level view of both of these topics and will help management decide if they need to upgrade their software in these two areas. The book consists of 117 pages but it should be enough to get management started thinking about their next moves. Instead of having to browse on the web for this information, it is contained in one area and is worth the purchase price if you want to know what Microsoft is doing in these areas in 2014.
