Here's a small selection from the many comments by readers who own the "The Complete Sybase ASE Quick Reference Guide": Jason Kaalverink Sutherland (Australia) "I get no kickback from Rob's book so the following recommendation is clean: the book rocks! Think of it as a distilled reference book, the only one you'll ever need to jog the brain once you've learned all there is to learn about Sybase!" Pablo Sanchez Blueoak Database Engineering, www.blueoakdb.com Nederland, CO (USA) "This book is really useful for both DB Administration and development, actually I am using it now for quick reference instead of Sybooks. It is a bible." Fouad Sidawi Damascus (Syria) "I recently bought a copy of your ASE Quick Reference Guide, and I want you to know that it has quickly become my most valuable reference book. It is easy to use, well organized, and profoundly useful. I recommend it heartily, especially to people who are new to Sybase and DBA work. Congratulations and thank you for this important work. It has made me more productive and it has made my job easier!" John Mirabile Los Angeles, CA (USA) "Your ASE Quick Reference Guide is simply the best! Thanks a million. Your guide is like my bible, and I hate to do without it. " Brian Sousa Tokyo (Japan) "I have gotten a lot of good use out of the Quick Reference Guide. It was money well spent!" John C. Langston Broken Arrow, OK (USA) "Thank you very much for writing this invaluable book! I only wish you'd have written it 5 years earlier -- I'm using it so often that I don't understand how I could work without it." Jeremy Craig London (UK) "Your ASE Quick Reference Guide is great. It is very useful that the commands are "GROUPed BY" topic; also the index is very useful. I think every ASE DBA should have this book!" Dieter Bergmann Stuttgart (Germany) "Your book fills an important gap in the Sybase documentation available... practically you did what the "mother ship" was supposed to do. This book is undoubtely one of the rare ones which will not gather dust on the shelf, and an invaluable aid for any Sybase DBA." Stefan Giuros Bucharest (Romania) "I have found the "Complete Sybase ASE Quick Reference Guide" to be the best Sybase pocket reference that I have ever used, and it is much better indexed, more complete and easier to use than virtually any other Sybase ASE reference I have ever used. In an emergency, without manuals or online references, this reference has enough information for a moderately proficient Sybase DBA to perform virtually any task for ASE management." "I felt so strongly about the value of the reference and its value and convenience as far as size and amount of information, that I bought one for every DBA in my group out of my own pocket, and I have passed the references on to some of my friends and former colleagues as well." Brandon Smith Palatine, IL (USA) (Please note that the above statements represent the opinions of these individual DBAs, and not of their respective employers) |
