I am a DB2 DBA that has been asked to become familiar enough with SQL 
Server in order to become actively involved in its installation, 
implementation, and to review database backup/recovery procedures. SQL 
Server will be used by a vendor packaged application. 
 
The problem is that we are awaiting word on whether it will be SQL 
Server 2000 or 2005 we will be working with. I have been told that 
there are considerable differences between the two versions. 
 
There is an upcoming local 5 day class on Administering SQL Server 2000 
that I would like to take. (outline below) 
 
Question is, are the differences between the two versions so drastic as 
to render this class less than useful, especially in terms of 
installation and basic db maintenance functions? 
 
Many thanks in advance.
