SQL Server InfoCenters

New: 14 April 2006

InfoCenters are technology-specific topics that guide you to the information and tasks that are most important for being successful in a given job role. For example, the Analysis Services Administrator InfoCenter has links to the information that is important for Analysis Services administrators.

InfoCenter Description

The documentation for every SQL Server technology includes InfoCenters for each applicable role. Each InfoCenter topic describes how that role relates to the specific technology. Besides a description of the role, each InfoCenter topic has two sets of links. The entries in the left column link to the most important information and procedures for a person in that role. The entries in the right column link to supplementary information.

Finding InfoCenters

For ease of navigation, the top-level topic for each SQL Server 2005 technology has links to all the InfoCenters for that technology. These topics are listed in the following table.

SQL Server Database Engine	SQL Server Analysis Services

Service Broker	Full-Text Search
