Reviews for Sybase SQL Server Unleashed

1. Worth every penny

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, June 12th, 2001

   This book is perfect for anyone working with Sybase. Its neatly packed into two sections, the first part being for database development and the second part for admin tasks. The layout of the book is very eye-friendly and its a very well put together book. Content is excellent.

2. complete compendium of sybase administration

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, June 12th, 1999

   This book is just what I looked for: A complete reference of howto's in Sybase ASE administration. It describes the ways to handle sybase admin tasks using the non-graphical interfaces. Especially for the friends of linux who get the ASE 11 for free this is the perfect manual to use ASE easily!

3. A Must Have for Any Sybase DBA!

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, February 12th, 1999

   If you buy only one book covering Sybase, this should be it. This book covers everything from security to tuning to backup and recovery. In my department, we refer to this book as "The Bible". I would like to have seen some coverage of Replication Server, but hey, I guess you can't have everything. I can't wait for the next edition covering 11.5 and 11.9. Keep up the good work guys!

4. Excellent book - Learn Sybase A-Z

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, February 12th, 1999

   This is an excellent book. I've worked with other relational DBMSs extensively, and I found answers to all my "how do you do it in Sybase?" questions easily. It's a good book to read from beginning to end, if you want to learn Sybase from scratch. Also I think it would be good as a reference -- other developers are constantly coming by my desk to look stuff up in it. The only problem I've had so far is that the Aurora desktop (on the CD) doesn't work on my 95 machine, and it appears the Northern Lights company has gone out of business, so there's absolutely no support for the product.

5. The most comprehensive valuable Sybase book around

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, December 12nd, 1998

   This book is a must have for anyone using or planning to use Sybase SQL Server. I find myself constantly grabbing for this book whenever I have a Sybase question that needs to be answered. My copy has become frayed and tattered with use.
