Crib Sheets aim to give you the broad view. Each one tackles a key area of database development, administration or deployment and provides both a management view and a technical view of that topic. Each starts with the business reasons that will underpin a certain technology requirement and then moves on to the methods available to implement them. A Crib Sheet is not about code solutions – see the Simple-Talk Workbench series for that – but about providing a good understanding of all the core concepts and terminology that surround a given technology or discipline. The aim is to cover each topic in just enough detail to perform a given function, no more.
