2.0 out of 5 stars
This book is full of errors.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sybase DBA Companion with CDROM (Paperback)
As a technical book, it is important to be precise and accurate--this book is neither. The book is full of typos, such as: cash=cache. In a work of fiction I would not be that concerned; however, I do not want to take a chance relying on this book for technical issues when it appears it was not proofread. Who wants to be hoping there is not a critical typo in one of the technical notes. Sloppy is the single word to describe this book, and that is not an adjective that should be associated with a technical work.

Great Sybase SQL Server book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sybase DBA Companion with CDROM (Paperback)
Of the 3 other Sybase I've read, this is perhaps the best. Lots of useful information and written in a very easy to read style. I would recommend this book to someone who knows the basics of SQL Servers and wants to learn more.

Okay for overview of Sybase client/server info.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sybase DBA Companion with CDROM (Paperback)
Not very informative for routine DBA maintenance "how to...." for new Sybase DBA. A better choice for the beginning DBA is Sybase (SQL Server 11) DBA Survival Guide, 2nd ED., SAMS Publishing.
