The best there is...ok so now i think Sams is better than Wrox...lol
Well I needed a crash course in SQL server management and some T-SQL.I attacked this book head-on. The book is very comprehensive and i am very amazed. It really is a complete guide to the GUI on SQL server. If you want some hard core T-SQL guidance then get another book...in addition. Sams teach yourself t-sql in 21 days is great. So i am on my way to 70-228 and this awesome book has great ...

dotNet Developer
As a dotNet Developer, I am often called upon to write my own database code or maintain existing db code. I am also called upon to diagnose performance problems or set security.

This book is a Swiss Army Knife for the Sybase DBA
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.

Sams, 1996

The ONLY Sybase book around
This book is copyrighted 1996 but don't let that fool you. It is still the best book on Sybase ASE available. Of course this might say more about the efficacy of Sybase than the book, but we aren't reviewing RDBMs here. There are a few things that are lacking in this book but if you are just starting out with Sybase, either coming from another RDBMs or starting from scratch, this is it. A second ...

Sterling, 1994

Beautiful photos accompany complete plans & material lists
A beginner could enjoy the pictures but would not yet own the requisite tools for all of the projects. Completed projects rival area high-end specialty gardening stores. Contains materials lists, recommended woods and finishes, and easy-to-understand drawings. A pleasure to own.
