Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 Resource Guideby Microsoft StaffCopyright 1999Microsoft Press
This book is a conglomeration of SQL Server information arranged more like an encyclopedia than a book that you read cover to cover. For the most part, you will probably want to pick and choose to read only those chapters of direct interest to you.
Of most interest to those DBAs interested in performance tuning are five chapters on SQL Server architecture and performance tuning. They include:
Storage Engine Capacity Planning Tips
Performance Tuning
Index Tuning Wizard
Query Processor
Storage Engine
The book is very technical and not recommended for beginning DBAs. But if you are an experienced DBA and cannot get enough of arcane SQL Server facts, then this is the book for you.
