Real World SQL Server Administration with Perl
From the reviews:"This is aimed at the DBA who is already running an efficient SQL server, but who wants to be forearmed against any future problems. … The aim of the book is to provide a toolkit of around 150 Perl scripts that can then be adapted and applied to a wide variety of SQL server problems … . There are also appendices that list useful resources … . The book as a whole could be quite useful … ." (Linux Magazine, March, 2004)"The book demonstrates the capabilities of Perl by presenting individual scenarios, each designed to highlight a particular useful feature and how it might be applied to common SQL Server administration tasks. … Overall, this is a well-rounded book providing a good balance of SQL Server administration task specific information, backed up with some useful Perl-specific text."
