in thread The need to work and re-train

I had thought the main add of MS SQL Server was a GUI tool set and under the hood, it was still much the same.

Many years ago I used MS SQL Server. It was so similar to Sybase that I was actually *trained* on Sybase. I didn't use a Sybase GUI, but that doesn't mean that there wasn't one, it could have been taken away so we could learn how to do things properly.

These days, Sybase does indeed have GUI admin tools, at least on Mac OS X, which look almost identical to the ones I was using on NT those many years ago.

There are free developer licences available for Sybase. Download and play.
