Customer Reviews

Handy reference guide for routine or upgrade functions.

Good book for beginning Sybase DBA. Text has bolded blocks highlighting useful tips and warnings. Excellant reference book to have during upgrade from Sybase 10 to 11.

This book is a Swiss Army Knife for the Sybase DBA

Sybase Sql Server 11 Dba Survival Guide is now the one book I take with me instead of the 4 or 5 books I have carried before. All of the essentials are here. I also like the tips and tricks that the author has put in. Much of this info can be found in the product manuals but is very hard to extract. This book has it right where I need it -- all in one place.

The one Sybase reference I use all the time.

I have several Sybase reference books and this is the one I keep handy. While not as in depth as some of the references I've seen, it's a very good tool for when you want to look something up fast or to jog your memory. Often, I'll start with this book and go elsewhere if I need more depth. It's organized pretty well and is often adequate by itself. I'd like to see an update for the 11.5 version of Sybase. A lot of the examples still reference version 10.x (not a big deal however).
