4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, July 24, 1998

By A Customer

For someone who is new to Informix but has experience with other RDBMS's, this book is just what is needed.

It overviews the Informix product line and gives detailed instructions for various tasks such as using ontape to perform a backup, understanding the onconfig parameters and much more.

This book lives up to the UNLEASHED! family name.

Thanks!

4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the time it takes to read it, July 5, 1999

By A Customer

I'm primarily a developer, but I also do a little bit of DBA stuff. This book has lots of info for developers, and apparently lots for DBAs too -- it's the book our primary DBA recommended to me. If you need to know something about Informix, chances are it's explained in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars lots of technical tips from experts !, November 5, 1998

By A Customer

This book is a great resource. It's not one to read cover to cover, but rather one to turn to when you have a question. It's helped me at work in critical situations.
