I read the book and found it is well written and contains lots of information. May be some not need it, but to be good SQL Server DBA I think it is necessary to understand internal work of SQL Server, and the book is one of books which give knowledge, in good and well written style, about internal work of SQL Server

I'm stingy with reviews, but once again, Kalen's book is a winner and this is one of the few great books on SQL Server. Her writing style is clear and she gets right to the details. Every book serves a specific need. If you need to understand the SQL Server engine, then this is the best book for that purpose. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Thanks, Kalen!
 This is a great series February 22, 2007

This is a good book, I did learn a few new things to help me better understand SQL Server 2005. However, I strongly recommend the T-SQL Querying book of this series over this one. Though the titles suggest different coverage, my opinion is that the T-SQL Querying book gave much better insight in the physical structure of indexes. Though the book was not that bad, it did not provide the detailed coverage of 'storage engine' topics I had expected.

Surprisingly I did not like author's writing style , I felt also that book is unorganized and did not find real useful info in that book, I will not buy books for this author again!
Very Useful Internals Book January 23, 2007

The book has a brief chapter on installing and upgrading to SQL Server 2005, then the fun starts with Chapter 2 "SQL Server 2005 Architecture", which has good coverage of the internals of the SQL Server 2005 Engine. This includes some good DMV queries. It also has good content on table and index internals.
