ADMINISTRATOR'S GUIDE TO SYBASE ASE 12.5

GARBUS

Systems administrators are responsible for overall performance at the
server level, while database administrators handle access, consistency,
and performance within the database. Administrator's Guide to Sybase ASE
12.5 provides all administrators with an authoritative guide to the
latest version of this important SQL enterprise database.

Topics include installing Sybase ASE and establishing connectivity;
creating and dropping databases and devices; protecting database devices
through mirroring; and backing up and restoring databases. Additionally,
the authors discuss transaction logging and managing the transaction
log; enabling security through the use of passwords, permissions, and
auditing; using the Resource Governor and Logical Process Manager; and
troubleshooting and preventative maintenance.

After reading this book, you should be able to perform any task that
encompasses the creation or maintenance of a server.

The appendixes include a Certified Sybase Professional DBA sample test,
troubleshooting tips, and articles on tuning, fragmentation, and
disaster recovery.
