Product Description
The stability and reliability of the Linux operating system makes it an ideal platform on which to operate databases. Increasingly, major software vendors are designing their applications to run on Linux. DBA's Guide to Databases on Linux walks you through the installation and configuration of several major databases on Linux and provides a working example of an e-commerce Web site. Major commercial databases such as Oracle, Informix, Sybase, DB2 and Progress are covered in depth as well as the widely used freeware databases, MySQL and PostgreSQL. DBA's Guide to Databases on Linux is the ultimate resource and comparative reference for any DBA managing databases on Linux.

From the Publisher
This book is intended primarily for database administrators and Linux users who want to improve their skills and understanding of various databases. We hope you will come away with a better understanding of database design and implementation in general. This book will give you a better understanding of the Linux operating system when it is used as a database server.

For the purposes of this book, we have presented a shopping cart scenario to illustrate some of the uses and potential of databases. Web servers are a key element in utilizing databases on the Web, and we have provided a short overview of many of the most popular ones today. Overall, we hope you find this book a useful reference that will assist your efforts in bringing up a database on Linux for whatever purpose.---Amy Pedersen, Publisher, Syngress Media, Inc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Information!, May 18, 2000
By A Customer
This book is very well done- clear and concise. I'm very interested in databases on Linux, especially with Sybase. This book does a really strong job clarifying Sybase, and explaining such things as Testing, Design, Configuration, etc. I do recommend this book to anyone working or planning to work with databses on Linux.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too general - where's the beef?, July 20, 2000
By joe briggs (manchester, nh United States) - See all my reviews
Way too general. I was looking for more detailed and specific installation & tuning help for Postgresql database on Linux. The book provided a quick overview and the high points, but certainly not enough to get the product installed & optimized. It's coverage of GUI tools provided only an overview, with not enough info to even persue it.

By Jessica Pearson (Worcester, MA) - See all my reviews
My copy is now really well dogeared because of how much I'm referring to it. I've recommended this book to many of my colleagues as it's a great reference.
