This review is from: SQL Anywhere Studio 9 Developer's Guide (Wordware Applications Library) (Paperback)

I've been using SQL Anywhere since version 6 and one of my biggest complaints has been how tough it is to find concise documentation on particular items such as tuning, setting up transactions and when to use what kind of transactions, etc. This book goes through all of this and much more. This is a well thought out book and will be useful for all. This book will have a prominate spot on my desk where I keep the reference materials I use all the time. Thanks Breck for this endevor

I am an experienced developer who is new to SQLAnywhere. This book is an awesome supplement to the SQL Anywhere documentation.
The book is easy to read and contains important details & subtleties about SQLAnywhere development. The material in this book saved me hours & hours of time & dramatically shortened my learning curve with SQLAnywhere. I particularly like the organization of the book - the content and order of the chapters is marvelous.

5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding book, and great reference guide on CD, January 6, 2005

This review is from: SQL Anywhere Studio 9 Developer's Guide (Wordware Applications Library) (Paperback)

This book is simply a must-to-have for db-developers; it presents a complete and compact reference for experienced developers as well as it offers a comprehensive immersion in SQL Anywhere to beginners and less experienced ones.

If I had to use only one word to express my opinion about this book I would just say: RELIEF. Relief of not getting drowned again in hundred of pages of irrelevant topics, misleading information, decorative pictures and tools descriptions.

I highly recommend this book to application programmers, as myself, accustomed to flirting with different db-engines but still seeking a solid understanding relational db paradigms.
