Title: These guys got it right
Product review: This is the perfect dba reference book, since it goes into details of virutally everything a dba will encounter (rep server not withstanding), from indexes to backup and recovery. Of course the perfect complement would be to have the sybase books on-line or somewhere handy, this is an all-round good reference. Also, if you have to get your head around UNIX as DBA and SA is quickly becoming a combined function, I recommend the UNIX unleashed book; just don't plan on having a social life for the next few years. I have the DBA Survival Guide by Panttaja, et al and it is lacking in many respects. With only about $13.00 between these 2 books, this one wins hands down.
