Eight books covering the Microsoft SQL Server 7/2000 stack end to end — administration, stored procedure programming, data warehousing, Transact-SQL in both cookbook and reference form, XML/WMI scripting, and a general SQL primer.
This is a working DBA\'s shelf rather than a random assortment. If you maintain or migrate legacy SQL Server systems, this is a lot of ground covered in one purchase.

Five of the six CD-ROMs are here — and three have never been opened
Six of these titles shipped with a companion disc. Five of those discs are still with the books, and three of them are unopened in their original in-book sleeves, which almost never survives on twenty-five-year-old technical books. Every disc is photographed.

⚠ One disc is missing, stated plainly. SQL Server 2000 Administration has its rear CD-ROM pocket but the disc is gone. The empty pocket is photographed so you can see exactly what you are getting. If that matters to you, please don\'t buy — I\'d rather lose the sale than have you open the box disappointed.
About the two loose discs — they are in ONE case together. The Guru\'s Guide and Transact-SQL Programming discs are both original discs, but they were moved out of their books years ago for protection and now share a single double-width jewel case. So there is one jewel case in this box containing two discs, not two cases. It travels loose alongside the books — please find it and open it before concluding anything is missing. Those two books\' rear sleeves are empty for exactly this reason, and both are photographed that way.
All told: five discs, in four places — three still unopened in their own books, plus two together in the one loose case.
None of the five discs has been tested in a drive. They are sold as included original media, not as guaranteed working software.
Condition, with the exceptions named
All eight are complete and tightly bound, with clean unmarked text — no highlighting, no annotation, no loose pages. Ordinary shelf wear to covers and edges for books of this age. Three individually grade Very Good: SQL Server 2000 Stored Procedure Programming, The Practical SQL Handbook, and Transact-SQL Cookbook.
Two carry a previous owner\'s name, and no others do:
- SQL Server 2000 Administration — signature inside. This is also the book missing its CD-ROM.
- Transact-SQL Programming — signature on the half-title page.
