Sybase/Sql Server

The well-publicized move away from mainframe and toward client/server computing has become the standard for corporate computing - and made Sybase one of the fastest growing companies in the United States. But newcomers may be intimidated by the complexity of the hardware and software behind the Sybase Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). This is a professional guide to the day-to-day operation, support and management of a Sybase Relational Database Management System. Not only will users find coverage of performance, tuning, database administration, installation, protocols, database security, application tools and management, but the book comes complete with a CD-ROM containing "custom programming solutions" for specific environments and generic routines for any platform. Topics covered include: the end of 1993; common problems encountered administering the product on VAX/VMS and UNIX operating systems, and maximizing its performance on IBM, Hewlett Packard, Sun, NCR, DEC VAX and Alpha platforms; a summary of Sybase commands and a list of third-party vendors that provide applications and software for use with Sybase.
For a comprehensive overview of a major area of computing today, including charts of Sybase's options and features, this book should be useful for all end-users, developers and database administrators.
