Get quick SQL Server 2005 reference information from any computer (SQL 2005)

If you’re trying to get SQL Server 2005 information from any computer, you may find that the maze of various documentation-related links on the Microsoft website has—over time—gotten a bit confusing and time-consuming to navigate.

To quickly get the documentation online, go to http://msdn.microsoft.com, but don’t click on the SQL Server link. This link takes you to a page that can keep you updated on new developments, but it can also take you around in loops looking for what you want. For general reference go here:

1. Click on the Library link at the top.
2. In the expandable tree that appears on the left, click on Servers and Enterprise Development.
3. Under this, expand the nodes in the tree as follows: SQL Server | SQL Server 2005 | Product Documentation | SQL Server 2005 Product Documentation | SQL Server 2005 Books Online.
