Good books on Sybase ASE 15?

Question

We need to get some good books on Sybase ASE 15 for our developers. The people in the team have previous experience with different SQL flavors (MS SQL, MySQL, Informix and Oracle) but no one worked with Sybase before. Therefore I am looking for two kinds of books:

1. Book for developers on how to use Sybase for queries,sprocs, views etc. Has to be a book for professionals and not something like 'learn SQL in 21 day'
2. Book for the DB administrator on how to maintain the database. This could be on any level and a dummy guide would not go wrong :)

Thank you

Answer 1

The man when it comes to Sybase is Rob Vershoor.

His website is here: http://www.sypron.nl/main.html.

His Sybase 15 book is "The Complete Sybase ASE Quick Reference Guide."
It's available from his website.

Answer 2

Agreed, he is The Man, also don't forget to checkout his "Tips, Tricks & Recipes for Sybase ASE"

It is updated for ASE15 and is packed full of practical information for DBA's.
