Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) is a database management system (DBMS) developed in the 1980s. It is one of the least documented and least "understood" of all DBMS systems. This book is for people desperately looking for a source of information on ASE 15.7. It may be suitable for both beginners in the database field and experimented DBMS administrators who want to clarify the specifics of ASE in order to become a Sybase DBA. It also highlights what's new in version 15.7 compared to previous versions. What this book will teach you: the basic bricks of ASE, the innovations of version 15.7, how to create an ASE dataserver, understanding how ASE records its data, getting out of the usual incidents, best practices to observe as a DBA, how to back up ASE efficiently, entering the optimizer's brain, tools and procedures that are not formally documented, ASE's specificities on Windows and Unix, indexes, the author's toolbox, and a final quiz to test your knowledge.
