3.0 out of 5 stars "SYBASE SQL SERVER 11 UNLEASHED" with a different cover?, April 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sybase SQL Server 11 Dba Survival Guide (Paperback)

Among others, I purchased this book along with "SYBASE SQL SERVER 11 UNLEASHED". I was amazed to find that both books contain largely the exact same text. Not almost the same words but EXACTLY the same text. Either book is useful by it's self however, there is no point in purchasing them both. While I am a dedicated follower of the "UNLEASHED" series, I was very disappointed in the publisher this time.

4.0 out of 5 stars The one Sybase reference I use all the time., August 5, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Sybase SQL Server 11 Dba Survival Guide (Paperback)

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).

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a Swiss Army Knife for the Sybase DBA, September 2, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Sybase SQL Server 11 Dba Survival Guide (Paperback)

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.
