If you need to work on 2008 this is exactly what you are looking for http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2009/11/21/sqlauthority-news-sql-server-2008-for-oracle-dba/ presentations and videos are very handy in terms of understanding the differences. In my opinion the core concepts are working for previous releases as well so you won't regret for the time you spend on these free online traning modules ------------------ -----Original Message----- From: coskan@xxxxxxxxx Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2010 22:57:35 To: A.

After that, you can dive into all the reference materials and books you want. i found myself in the same boat. I was an Oracle DBA (10yrs exp.) for a Microsoft partner, and when all the Oracle jobs dried up in that town, they said, seeing that you are an Oracle DBA you must can administer SQL Server. So there began my dual life. Take if from me, do the MS training, less pain and quicker time to ramp up.
