RE: SQL Server basic sources of info?

Michael Stonebreaker, one of THE seminal thinkers in relational database theory, is also one of the key players at Informix.

There might be some wheat to winnow from the chaff.

||Oh its not that bad.  I am "responsible" for 5 SQL Server databases

||I just found out that I will be the DBA on a SQL Server 7
||project, and I
||have no SQL Server experience.  I am just "overwhelmed" with
||excitement.  At
||any rate, I was hoping someone could answer a few basic
||questions about
||sources of info...
||
||* What would be the equivalent "SQL Server" Metalink and
||Technet websites
||be?  I am assuming that this would be somewhere on www.microsoft.com.
||
||* On Technet I can download various versions of Oracle and
||play at home.
||Where can I find a copy of SQL Server so that I can do the same.
||
||* Any equivalent Fatcity/LazyDBA list servers for SQL Server?
||
||* Any must-have, highly-recommended SQL Server books?
||
||Many thanks for the info!!!

||Server DBA 101 book?
