Exam 70-229: Designing and Implementing Databases with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition

Now that you have finished the book and are well-versed in SQL Server 2000 database design issues, you're ready for the exam. This element of the book has been put together as a final set of study notes for use in the parking lot prior to sitting the actual exam. "Fast Facts" is exactly what its name implies: It's designed to aid you in the quick study of specific information contained in this book.

The following information has been squeezed out of the book and divided into the same topics covered by each chapter; it summarizes the facts you need to know and often the information that is more difficult to memorize. "Fast Facts," however, are not a substitute for "knowledge," which is a process, not an end in-and-of-itself. It is important that you understand the concepts behind these facts, as solely memorizing facts will not help you pass the exam.

A lot of care has been taken to select only the most essential facts for quick review. Here you will find information addressing some of the finer points that will help you answer questions on the actual exam.
