Update: 6/13/2013I was contacted by the authors and publisher of this book and advised that the terrible type-setting mentioned in my review and in my uploaded photo only existed in an early batch of books sent to . The publisher provided me with a replacement free of charge which has none of the previously mentioned problems.I was greatly impressed by the efforts that the authors and publishers went to in order to track me down and insure my satisfaction.Rating changed from ** to ***** due to good content and excellent customer service.------------------------Original review:While the content of the book is fairly good (probably worthy of **** instead of **), the book has horrible text formatting and editing mishaps through out. I'll upload a photo of part of one page so you know I'm not making this up, but here is a text excerpt from Chapter 1 on Metadata Collection:--------------------------------------------3.

Retrieve a list of SQL Server instances and store the list in a variable.3. Create an OLE DB connection with a dynamically populated server name.4. Iteratet hroughe achd atabasea nd a. Retrievec urrentd atabasea ndl og files izesf orh istoricalm onitoring. b. Retrieve a list of index candidates for potential redesign or dropping. c. Update the Last Monitored value for each SQL Server instance.This is a very flexible model that can easily be expanded to include many more monitoring tasks.
