Recommanded books
Only few books to recommend? Does it means that Sybase ASE manuals are so good there is no need for others to writte on Sybase themes...?
Or I just couldn't find other books?
- "Tips, Tricks & Recipes for Sybase ASE 2nd edition" , by Sybase evangelist and guru, Rob Verschoor. Very good written, covers ineresting subjects. I find it very enjoyable for reading.
- "Developing Stored Procedures for Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise" , by Salmon Training. Concise, good organized, it covers all subjects necessary to stored procedure development explained through real examples. Book is really helpful and provides a methodical approach to stored procedure subject with influences to other Sybase ASE topics. It also suggests "good practice" how stored procedures should be used.
