Microsoft Press - Free ebook: Introducing Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (second DRAFT preview)

"Everybody interested in learning about what’s new in SQL Server 2012, today’s a good day because we’re releasing our second DRAFT preview of Introducing Microsoft SQL Server 2012, by Ross Mistry and Stacia Misner. (Please remember that “draft” means we haven’t completed our editorial/production work on the content.) This version updates the two chapters that appeared in our first DRAFT preview release and adds four more chapters. It contains the boldfaced chapters below:

PART I DATABASE ADMINISTRATION (Ross’s part)

1. Denali Editions and Enhancements

2. High Availability and Disaster Recovery Enhancements

3. Scalability and Performance

4. Security Enhancements

5. Beyond Relational

PART II BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE DEVELOPMENT (Stacia’s part)

6. Integration Services

7. Data Quality Services

8. Master Data Services

9. Analysis Services and PowerPivot

10. Reporting Services

This release is available in PDF only. In March, we’ll release the final, full, and, yes, free 10-chapter ebook in three formats: PDF, MOBI, and EPUB. ..."

And my usual PDF snaps;

The Chapter I need right now is #1... lol

Still, hard to beat the price on this. But remember, this is a Draft version and not the final.
