About this book

Feeling reluctant? The Handbook for Reluctant Database Administrators provides you with a solid grasp of what you'll need to design, build, secure, and maintain a database. Author Josef Finsel writes from an understanding point of view; he also crossed over from programming to database administration. Furthermore, database administration veteran Francis Stanisci comments throughout the book, sharing insight from his own years of experience.
