Sybase SQL Server System Administration

I was surprised to find that no one has reviewed this book yet, even if it is out of print. I bought this book to supplement "Sybase SQL Server 11 Unleashed" by Rankins etc. While that book is better as a general overview of Sybase, this book covers certain topics in more detail. As such, Kirkwood's book is better suited to DBAs than developers. It covers topics such as integrity, cursors, datatypes, the threshold manager, auditing, security, backup and recovery, the optimizer, problem anticipation and solving, configuration parameters (useful!), creating databases, master database rebuilding, storage stuctures and indexing, multiuser issues (concurrency and memory) and other miscellaneous features.Negatives? Some topics that one would expect to be covered here are missing. Still, for DBAs, I would recommend this book to complement "Sybase Unleashed". I generally use both.
