Default Help!! Need online docs on cd (for my local machine) - 09-02-2004 , 11:52 PM






Hello all,

Can anyone tell me how I can obtain the Sybase ASE 12.5.x
Admin/PT/whatever WEB-BASED docs on cd?

Our company recently got hacked via the web badly. Consequently,
no-one in our company except the boss has internet access anymore.

The documentation that ships w/ Sybase is horrible...I absolutely hate
it. On the other hand, the online (Sybase website docs) are much more
helpful.

Any assistance is much appreciated.

Options ...

- Contact Sybase (your local sales rep or 1-800-SYBASE or perhaps the
online e-shop) to order said CD.

- get your boss to go to http://sybooks.sybase.com/as.html (for ASE),
choose the appropriate version of ASE, then download the .pdf files; then
put a copy of the .pdf files on CD; granted, not realistically doable if
you're trying to download via dial-up (ie, you'll need/want a high speed
connection)

- wait for your internet access to be re-installed (put a router/hub
between your boss's PC and the internet ... then hang another PC off of
said router/hub) and then download the manuals ("Duh, Mark!" ??)

So the guy that needs the access the least has it, typical. Our DBA's have
this little pocket reference guide that they says have pretty much
everything in it, I would find something like that.
