Good for starters, but not detailed,
By A Customer
This review is from: Administrator's Guide to SYBASE ASE 12.5 (Jeffrey Garbus' Official Sybase Ase 12.5 Library) (Paperback)
The book is good for starters/beginners who want to learn about sybase administartion, but it doesnt hightlight the new features or even explain/elaborate in detail the enhanced features on sybase 12.5 admin. For e.g., Configuration parameters are just listed and not explained. I had expected a lot from this long awaited book. Only wish the P&T book be good.

Very Useful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Administrator's Guide to SYBASE ASE 12.5 (Jeffrey Garbus' Official Sybase Ase 12.5 Library) (Paperback)
Unlike the other reviews I have read, I found the book to be useful and informative. Some of the newer features (eg, dbccdb) are covered in some detail while others are not. To be fair, the book isn't supposed to be just about brand new 12.5 features, rather an administration guide to 12.5. The difference may appear small, but it is large enough to commend the authors on a job well done.The book does cover database administration of Sybase very well. My one complaint is that some of the formatting of figures is off, which might lead a newer DBA to be confused over some of the results. Nevertheless, I have found it an excellent reference manual, as well as a teaching tool, having discovered some things about ASE that I was not aware of. While online manuals are good, there's nothing better than having a book in front of you to read from cover to cover.

Yes, useful for sybase starter,
By A Customer
This review is from: Administrator's Guide to SYBASE ASE 12.5 (Jeffrey Garbus' Official Sybase Ase 12.5 Library) (Paperback)
As an Oracle DBA, I simply want to find something to start, like Oracle's online Concept book or handful of other books out there. But there isn't anything in Sybase documentations nor many choices of books: DBA guide written like ref manual, replication guide however is OK to start. This book at least can get me started as one piece, more systematically, not one bit here and the other bit there. Although it is skin deep and probably should call Sybase Administrator 202, I still find it very useful to start with. Output and query results really helps me sit and read through the book, focuing, not having to type while you read
