Hello all,

I just want to share a link to download a free copy of Microsoft Press eBook ‘Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Pocket Consultant’.
This could be a great eBook for you to learn all about how to manage SQL Server .

Currently, Microsoft Press just posted the first  two chapters within this free copy as Managing SQL Servers and Policy-Based Management.

So, SQL Geeks !!! Grab your digital copy and learn all about how to manage SQL Server!

I have already downloaded and have started to read and learn the things.Hope you will too.

This link could be helpful for all of us in the field of BI-SQL server to know more about SQL Server 2012 and to manage SQL Server.
